Ep72: Mastering the Art of Setting Boundaries in Relationships with Dr. Essence Rivers

Things You Learn in Therapy

Master the art of setting boundaries in your relationship and personal life with our special guest, Dr. Essence Rivers! Discover the ins and outs of creating healthy boundaries, an essential yet often misunderstood part of maintaining harmonious relationships. We're challenging the traditional view of rules and control; instead, we're exploring the empowering practice of defining expectations based on our values. Tune in to the heart of understanding your values and using them to guide your relationships.
We'll examine the difference between ultimatums and boundaries, learning how to communicate our expectations clearly for a deeper connection. Expect to learn tips and strategies on how to identify when your expectations aren't being met and how to create a bridge of understanding with your partner.
Together, we'll discover how to create them without causing conflict and how our values can help us determine what's reasonable to expect from our partners. Listen in as we stress the importance of communicating expectations and boundaries to avoid surprises and misunderstandings. Ready to embark on this empowering journey with us? Tune in and let's redefine boundaries!
