A proposito di questo titolo
Everyone says they’re “setting boundaries.”
Most people are actually just repeating requests and hoping harder.
In this episode of MetaTherapy, we break down why boundaries keep “not working,” how they quietly turn into power struggles, and what boundaries actually are when you strip away the Instagram therapy language.
You’ll learn:
The difference between requests, boundaries, and ultimatums
Why explaining your boundary often makes it weaker
What enforcing a boundary really looks like (and why it feels awful at first)
How resentment is usually a boundary that never got enforced
We also respond to a real Reddit question about disrespect in relationships and introduce a new way for listeners to submit follow-up questions from past episodes.
If you’ve ever thought, “I communicated clearly… so why does this keep happening?”
This episode is for you.
