Ep. 13: Breaking Down the Boundary Pyramid: ‘Cordial’ and ‘No Contact’

Today we're stepping into the final episode in this series on the Boundary Pyramid. And if you've been here through the ‘sacred,’ ‘trust,’ and ‘shared interest’ categories, thank you for walking this path with me. This episode, we're exploring the outermost layers of the boundary pyramid, the ‘cordial’ and ‘no contact’ categories. These categories hold the least access, but they often bring up a lot of emotions like grief, confusion, shame, resentment, anger, and sometimes even doubt. These are the places we tend to wrestle the most with whether it's okay to create distance, especially when we were taught that closeness equals goodness and distance equals failure. But here's what I want you to remember before you dive into this episode: peace is not selfish. Clarity is not cruel. And honoring your nervous system is not betrayal. It's really the only way.ResourcesThe Boundary Pyramid GraphicDownload the Boundary Category Cheat SheetWebsite: robinbreckenridge.comInstagram: @coachwithrobinTikTok: @robinbreckenridgeYouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge
