Mastering Boundaries: A Key to PTSD Recovery
“So I want you to think about setting a boundary like building a fence.”
Ever felt like setting boundaries is a maze you can't navigate? Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke, hosts of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast, dive into this very topic, making it clear and approachable. Boundaries can be tricky, especially when trauma is in the mix. But they're crucial for creating a peaceful, safe space where you feel in control of your relationships.
In this episode, Kayleen and Brad unpack what boundaries really are, the different types you might encounter, and the internal work needed before you set them up. Imagine boundaries as a fence - not just to keep people out but to let the right ones in. They discuss 'fortress boundaries' versus 'front door boundaries' and how finding the right balance is key for your long-term goals and relationships. Self-respect, self-love, and self-worth are the cornerstones of effective boundary-setting.
The hosts encourage listeners to identify where they need boundaries the most and offer practical tips on building self-boundaries. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to reclaim control and peace in their lives while navigating PTSD recovery.
