Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, Jungian psychology, and boundary research, this episode explores how boundaries are not just interpersonal, but neurological, and how overriding your limits keeps your body in a chronic state of stress.This is not journaling, confrontation, or fixing. It’s awareness. One breath. One question at a time. A way to reconnect with your body’s signals, identify quiet resistance and resentment, and make small, honest shifts that protect your energy without guilt.Listen when you need grounding, clarity, or permission to pause, and remember: boundaries aren’t walls. They’re doors that let the right energy in. 🌿🍋Important Note:This episode is for educational and reflective purposes only and is not a substitute for therapy, diagnosis, or medical care.
