We're trying to change the relationship, and sometimes that change requires patience and practice.
So this has been a year that has tested our boundaries on nearly every work, friendship, family, community, geography, politics, religion, social issues, love, well being, even our own inner boundaries with technology may be that more than anything else.
It's like we're being asked to draw lines all day, every day, and our ability to do that well, it just may mean the difference between peace and calamity.
Question is how?
How do you create and uphold boundaries that are clear, healthy, and constructive, while also acknowledging the nuance, kindness, and understanding this moment demands?
That's what we're diving into in today's special compilation episode on boundaries, featuring key elements of conversations we had with therapists, bestselling authors, and boundary experts Nedra Glover Tawab and Terry Cole.
You're going to want to take notes on this episode.
What you learned may not only help you breathe more easily and reclaim peace and space, it just might also change your life.
So excited to share this special episode with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.
Hey, so up.
First, we're diving into ideas with Nedrig Lavertawab, a licensed therapist and sought after relationship expert.
She's practiced relationship therapy for twelve years and is the founder and owner of the group therapy Practice Kaleidoscope counseling.
Every day she helps people create healthy relationships by teaching them how to implement boundaries.
Her philosophy is that a lack of boundaries and assertiveness underlie most relationship issues, and her gift is helping people create healthy relationships with themselves and others.
And Nedra is also the author of the New York Times bestselling book set Boundaries find peace, a guide to reclaiming yourself.
Along with her recently released the set Boundaries workbook, practical exercises for understanding your needs and setting healthy limits.
Here is Nedra.
Let's talk about what we actually mean with this word boundaries, because I think probably people will hear that differently.
