Ep. 16: The Key to Holding Boundaries? A Regulated Nervous System
from Grow with Robin Breckenridge · host Robin Breckenridge
We've been taught that boundary work is mostly about communication, but that's only half of the story. We can’t talk about boundaries without also talking about how your nervous system responds. When we feel threatened, our body doesn't ask, ‘what's the best, most conscious choice here?’ It simply reacts. Those reactive moments don’t mean you’re failing at boundaries; they’re signs that your body is feeling unsafe. That’s why, in this episode, we’re exploring what actually happens in those moments when you lose your boundary and how to gently find your way back to yourself using self-regulation techniques. If you've ever asked yourself, ‘why did I just agree to that?’ ‘Why did I freeze?’ ‘Why can't I ever get it right in the moment?’ This episode is for you.
