Healthy relationships require healthy boundaries — even with family members. While dysfunction or even abuse needs to be addressed, are there instances where we have taken boundaries "too far"?
In this episode, you'll learn:
- When relational boundaries become unhealthy, leading to cutoffs, emotional distance, or family estrangement.
- How to set boundaries with family members in a way that increases safety, improves communication, and reduces isolation.
- How to protect your emotional health without attempting to control another person.
