Ever wondered why some boundaries feel empowering while others seem to create more conflict? In this episode of the 'Inner Bonding' podcast, Dr. Margaret Paul unravels the complexities of setting boundaries. She explains that not all boundaries are created equal—some stem from fear and a need to control, while others come from a place of self-love and care. Dr. Paul clarifies that true boundaries aren't about dictating others' actions but about defining your own responses to unloving behavior.
Using relatable examples, she illustrates how to distinguish between boundaries that nurture and those that constrain. She also emphasizes the importance of inner boundaries, which help you manage your own wounded self and cultivate a loving adult within. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build healthier relationships and enhance their emotional well-being.
