Boundaries can be a tricky business, especially when you're dealing with someone who has an addiction. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', Michelle Anderson sheds light on the difference between good and poor boundaries, providing listeners with a refreshing perspective on how to set them effectively. The podcast kicks off by defining what boundaries are and why they're crucial for maintaining healthy relationships.
Michelle emphasises that boundaries are about defining what is acceptable in our personal behaviour and reactions, rather than controlling others. She shares a relatable example of a poor boundary, such as trying to stop a partner from being rude, which simply isn't feasible. Instead, she advises setting boundaries around your own responses, like choosing to leave the room or disengage from abusive behaviour. Michelle's approach is both compassionate and practical, encouraging listeners to respect their own values first and foremost.
By mastering the art of boundary-setting, she argues, we can improve all our relationships, not just those affected by addiction. Her insights are peppered with humour and empathy, making this episode a valuable resource for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the chaos addiction can bring into their lives. As you tune in, you'll find yourself reflecting on your own boundaries and how they align with your values.
Michelle's candid discussion is sure to inspire you to consider what boundaries you might want to implement in your life. So, if you're ready to take control of your reactions and protect your heart, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
