You get fired from your job.

All sorts of shenanigans happen.

That future is not kidding.

That future wants you, right?

But it is to recognize.

But if you know that boundaries are the key,

to your new life.

There's a lot of books on boundaries.

There's a lot of weekend workshops on boundaries.

I would rather somebody put their efforts in personal development, personal growth, transformation, and healing into that development rather than go back for the 18th time and talk about what your father did when you were four.

Okay, that's where the real gold is.

So we have to recognize that this is a developmental journey.

When you got stuck in trauma, there were skills and capacities that were missing.

When you were alone in life because you were a latchkey kid or you were neglected, you know, you were left alone for hours at a time, you didn't learn how to be vulnerable.

You didn't learn how to engage conflict in a successful way.

You didn't learn how to reciprocity or mutuality in relationships.

You only learned self-sufficiency.

That's right.

But there is a part of the person who's worthy.

That's a very hard one to overcome.
