How Do I Communicate My Boundaries With My In Laws?

To kick things off, Dr. Naomi and Jordana get into why keeping your space tidy is starting to feel less like a chore and more like a form of self-care—especially for busy parents. Then, they hear from a listener struggling to navigate boundaries with her in-laws… whom she’s somehow already seeing multiple times a week. This week’s Betchicist also dives into in-law dynamics, but from a different angle: a listener whose husband feels uncomfortable with her breastfeeding in front of her family. Later, they respond to a voicemail from a beginner tennis player who’s having trouble maintaining her composure in a competitive league. To wrap things up, they unpack two triggering scenarios: a “I knew it!”-style therapist who then avoids engaging with the listener’s trauma, and a neighbor whose connection to a listener’s father might be crossing a line.
