Setting Boundaries with Yourself and Others with CFT Lilac Colandra

Dr. Moore interviewed Lilac Colandra, a marriage and family therapist and mindfulness life coach, about boundaries, mental health, and self-care. Lilac shared her personal journey into mental health work, including how her family background and experiences led her to pursue therapy, particularly her work helping clients navigate mental health within religious contexts. They discussed the importance of recognizing physical and emotional cues when boundaries are being crossed, the guilt often associated with setting boundaries, and how boundaries protect one's internal well-being rather than keeping others out. The conversation also covered stigma around therapy, particularly in religious communities, and emphasized that self-care should be viewed as maintenance rather than something reserved for crises, with practical examples like daily activities that promote relaxation and mental breaks.
