14. Boundaries with Family and Partners

In this episode of the Filled to Flourish podcast we examine the topic of boundaries with more detail and nuance than a lot of boundaries conversations. We explore this topic a lot with each other and clients, and wanted to bring some of that more complicated conversation to the podcast. We discuss: -Boundary basics -Power, autonomy and systems -When defensiveness is normal, when it's harmful -Why those closest to us might have such a hard time with our boundaries -Family systems and roles -Shared and unshared boundaries -How powerfully healing it can be when someone responds well to our boundaries -What people's reaction to your boundaries can tell you about your relationship
