EP84 - Boundaries Part 1 - Enmeshment
Boundaries are at the core of any healthy relationship. Boundaries dictate how close or distant we are from another person, including physically, mentally, and emotionally. When those boundaries become weak and permeable, we have now entered into the territory of enmeshment. Enmeshment is born out of a desire for love and closeness, but potentially breeds the risk of loss of self, diminished confidence, and volatile relationship patterns.
Join us as we define enmeshment, identify the risks of this boundary level, and ways to strengthen boundaries for your own health, as well as others. Boundaries can be very difficult to navigate, especially when there has been a consistent pattern of a lack of boundaries before. Let us help you identify if this is something you may be facing and ways to hold loving yet confident boundaries!
