Episode 93 - Boundaries - the Building Blocks for Solid Relationships

September 26, 2023 • Else Kramer • Season 1 • Episode 93

In this podcast episode, I dive into the topic of setting boundaries in relationships .

You'll learn what they are (and that, contrary to what some people think, they are NOT universal).

Failing to recognize or establish boundaries can result in stress, anger, and even the dissolution of a relationship.

In this Episode you'll get practical advice on how to set and enforce boundaries effectively, such as

regulating the nervous system during conflicts
communicating boundaries clearly and honestly
realising that setting boundaries is not an attack, but rather a necessary conversation to address unresolved issues.

The main teachings and takeaways from this Episode:

Boundaries are personal non-negotiables that differ for each individual based on their background, values, and experiences.
Ignoring or neglecting boundaries can lead to stress, anger, and potential relationship breakdown.
Setting and enforcing boundaries requires self-reflection, clear communication, and regulating the nervous system during conflicts.
Establishing boundaries = being in integrity.
