145 A Crash Course on Boundaries: When to Set Them, How to Enforce Them

We all know that having boundaries and setting boundaries is essential if we are to have healthy, enjoyable, relationships. There needs to be a clear line between ourselves and others, where we begin and they end, otherwise our relationships become controlling, co-dependence and enmeshed.   Yet the idea of setting boundaries terrifies most of us. We fear we won't be heard or that our desires will be ignored, and most off all, we fear that if we set boundaries the relationship might end all together.   Therefore, most of us swallow our feelings or laugh it off when someone crosses a line, or we justify their behavior by thinking, "it's just the way they are." And when we do that, nothing ever changes, resentment builds, and our relationships suffer. Therefore, it's time to talk about setting healthy boundaries.   In this episode, you will learn… ·      …about the internal belief that keeps us from setting boundaries; ·      …to access the emotional energy that's necessary to set a boundary; ·      …how to have a boundary conversation that is likely to be well-received; ·      …what to do when a person won't respect your boundaries; ·      …and much more.   Don't miss this episode!   Additional Resources Roy may have mentioned on the show:   Roy's Website: https://coachingwithroy.com   Roy's Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test: https://coachingwithroy.com/the-relationship-fitness-self-test/   Roy's 3 Books: ·      Relationship Bootcamp: https://amzn.to/360UsMR ·      Attracting Lasting Love: http://amzn.to/1UnYeYh ·      A Drink with Legs: https://amzn.to/31UBl3K     Roy's Group Coaching Program: https://coachingwithroy.com/group-coaching/   Roy's Complimentary 45-min.
