Episode 2682: Dr. Allison Niebes-Davis breaks down the often-overlooked truth about boundaries: setting them is only the beginning. The real challenge, and the real growth, comes from holding those boundaries in the face of pushback, discomfort, and resistance. Discover how anticipating reactions and preparing your response can make boundary maintenance more effective and empowering. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drallisonanswers.com/relationships/what-no-one-will-tell-you-about-boundaries-a-psychologist-keeps-it-real/ Quotes to ponder: "Setting boundaries isn’t the hard part. Not at all. The hardest part about boundaries isn’t setting them; it’s holding them." "You’re going to get push back. You’re going to get judgment. And you’re not going to get the magically supportive response you hoped for." "You’re tolerating short term discomfort for a longer term goal. And that is so dang worth it."
