Here's When Setting A Boundary Is Actually Necessary
Notas do episódio
Have you ever “set a boundary” because a TikTok told you it was the only way to protect your peace?
In this episode of But Are You Happy, hosts Ashani Dante and Dr. Anastasia Hronis unpack the idea of weaponised boundaries and explore how to tell whether yours are healthy gates or rigid walls that might be keeping people out unnecessarily.
You’ll also learn:
- How to identify the boundaries that are actually right for you
- How to communicate your needs clearly without turning the other person into the villain
- Why resentment is often a key sign that you’ve been ignoring your own boundaries
- Why “no contact” can be an important tool for safety, but shouldn’t be used as a shortcut to avoid difficult conversations
