Boundaries – Why They Hate Them

from The Mechanics of Toxic Relationships · host Daniel Harper

Boundaries – Why They Hate ThemEver tried to set a simple boundary…and suddenly everything turns to shit?This episode breaks down why boundaries don’t just get ignored in toxic relationships—they get pushed, tested, and punished.You say no.They push harder.You explain yourself.They flip it.Now you’re:difficultcoldselfish“not the same person”All for doing something completely normal.Because boundaries aren’t a problem in healthy relationships—they’re respected.But in this system?Boundaries are a threat.They limit access.They expose behaviour.They force accountability.So instead of being accepted—they get challenged.Over and over.Until you start questioning whether you’re allowed to have them at all.Because the goal isn’t to understand your boundary—it’s to make you drop it.And if you don’t?They’ll make it uncomfortable enough that you do.My Books on Amazon CHECK THEM OUT HERE
