When I think about boundaries, I think of a puzzle piece like a jigsaw puzzle. And so what I find to be helpful and true is to identify our own boundaries, to know the edges of our own puzzle piece so well that we can easily articulate them to neighboring pieces and know if they're a fit or not, because we have this idea of how much we would love for something to fit, instead of figuring out the ways it might fit.
Ever felt like saying 'no' is the hardest thing to do? In this engaging episode of The Therapeutic Poet, host Jacky Power sits down with author and yoga teacher Kari Kwinn to unravel the complexities of setting boundaries. Using Kari's book, 'Better Boundaries: You don't have to be broken to be better', as a roadmap, they dive into practical tools and fresh perspectives that can help anyone struggling with boundary issues.
Jacky kicks off the conversation with her poem 'Positively Negative', setting the stage for a thought-provoking discussion. Kari brings a unique twist to the table: focusing on what we say 'yes' to rather than just what we decline. This approach can lead to better intimacy and clearer communication in our relationships. Although they didn't delve deeply into Kari's personal stories, her experiences are woven throughout her book, making the advice feel relatable and attainable.
They also touch on Kari's 'red, yellow, green list' strategy for building intimacy and how knowing your own desires can simplify setting boundaries. If you're looking to enhance your relationships and personal growth, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a mix of poetry, psychology, and real-life wisdom.
