1 小时 2 分钟Repeating a boundary is very helpful.
Perhaps we need to repeat more often and move away from the idea that saying it once is enough.
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 level.
Work, friendship, family, community, geography, politics, religion, social issues, love, well being.
It's kind of like we're being asked to draw lines all day, every day.
Question is, how do you create and uphold boundaries that are clear and healthy and constructive, while also acknowledging the nuance and the kindness and understanding this moment demands?
Well, my guest today, Nedrick Lever Tawab, can help.
A licensed therapist and sought after relationship expert, she has practiced relationship therapy for a solid dozen plus years, is the founder and owner of the group therapy Practice kaleidoscope counseling, and 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, that's actually what underlies most relationship issues.
And her gift is to really help people create healthy boundaries with themselves and others.
Nidra is also the author of the New York Times bestselling book set Boundaries find peace, a guide to reclaiming yourself, along with her newly released set Boundaries workbook.
So excited to share this conversation with you on a quick note before we dive in.
So at the end of every episode, I don't know if you've ever heard this, but we actually recommend a similar episode.
So if you love this episode, at the end, we're going to share another one that we're pretty sure you're going to love too.
So be sure to listen for that.
Okay, on to today's conversation.
I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.
So I want to take a deep dive into your work around relationships and boundaries, but also want to take a little bit of a step back.
I'm fascinated by what draws people into different pursuits, into different careers, different types of work.
