The Hardcore Therapist 80..5- How do I set boundaries without feeling guilty?

Hey everyone, welcome back to The Hardcore Therapist! I’m so glad you’re here. Today we’re diving into a question that hits close to home for a lot of us:

Whew. This is a big one. And if you're anything like me—or like most of the people I work with—you’ve probably struggled with this at some point.

Questions to ask yourself if you struggle with boundaries:

“What kind of pushback am I afraid of—and what does that fear really say about my past experiences?”
