Back Pocket Boundary Statements

Healing with WORTH

In todays episode, Janine and Naomi are diving into the vital topic of boundaries. We'll discuss the importance of setting boundaries not just with our husbands, but also in various aspects of our lives where we might find ourselves overextending to accommodate others. We'll provide practical sentences to help you assert your needs and maintain your energy, especially during early recovery when it’s crucial to reserve your energy for the things that truly bring you joy. As women, we often struggle with saying no due to social conditioning that encourages us to be accommodating. This episode aims to equip you with phrases to handle situations where you need to set boundaries without feeling unaccommodating. From learning to say "I can't do that right now" to asserting "I'm uncomfortable with what you just said or did," we'll offer phrases that can help you navigate challenging conversations. We’ll also explore the importance of respecting your own limits and recognizing when you’ve overextended yourself to avoid resentment and anger. Join us as we empower you to stand in your power, protect your well-being, and set boundaries that foster healthier relationships and self-respect. Remember, good boundaries will help protect you from being taken advantage of and ensure you don't end up feeling resentful or exhausted. Tune in for practical advice and supportive discussion on reclaiming your energy and standing firm in your needs.
