How Do I Set Boundaries With Family Without Feeling Like a Bad Person?: Ask Dr. Julie Hanks Podcast
In this episode, Dr. Julie Hanks coaches Cami and addresses the question, “How Do I Express Myself Without Feeling Ungrateful?” Messages we receive as children can impact the way we interact in our relationships as adults, and being labeled “ungrateful” or “rude” when we express ourselves can create a fear of speaking up and setting boundaries.
During this episode, Dr. Hanks guides Cami through identifying where her “ungrateful” feeling is coming from and how to take care of younger Cami by setting boundaries now. They also discuss how to navigate family relationships where aggressive communication occurs, including how to implement boundaries without the need for justification or explanation.
