In this podcast I discuss the paradox: that to have healthy relationships, there needs to be space and a recognition that we are separate beings with different desires, feelings, perspectives, and different life paths. This space can also be called a boundary. I also talk about:
How we can know if the boundaries in a relationship are healthy or not.
How we can manage the fear that can arise when we start establishing boundaries.
How we can set a boundary that is respectful to ourselves and to the other person.
