Boundaries (Part 2) — The Privilege In Saying No

Boundaries shape every part of our lives, from how we relate to our families and partners, to how we. navigate the workplace. In this episode, I speak to Dr Anusha Lachman, Head of the Clinical Unit of Child Psychiatry at Tygerberg Hospital, about how our earliest attachments influence our ability to set boundaries later in life. We discuss why context matters — from race and gender to South Africa’s history of trauma — and why boundaries aren’t one-size-fits-all. This is the second part of our three-part series on boundaries.
