Debunking Common Boundary Myths

In this episode of Chai Beauty, we explore Chapter Six from a handbook on boundaries, focusing on 'Common Boundary Myths.' The speaker discusses eight prevalent myths: 1) If I set a boundary, I'm being selfish, 2) Boundaries are a sign of disobedience, 3) If I begin to set boundaries, I will be hurting others, 4) If I set boundaries, I will hurt others, 5) Boundaries mean I am angry, 6) When others set boundaries, it injures me, 7) Boundaries cause feelings of guilt, 8) Boundaries are permanent and I'm afraid of burning bridges. The episode includes reflections on personal experiences with setting boundaries, navigating guilt, anger, and the importance of self-care. Listeners are encouraged to evaluate their own beliefs and excuses regarding boundaries.
