Ep. 12: Breaking Down the Boundary Pyramid: ‘Shared Interest’

Robin Breckenridge Episode 12

Last episode, we explored the ‘sacred’ and ‘trust’ categories of the Boundary Pyramid, those relationships that are closest to us, the people that we turn to for emotional safety, deep connection, and shared vulnerability. But what about everyone else? 


This week, we're stepping into the category where most of your relationships will live: ‘shared interest.’ This is the most commonly used part of the pyramid and also the most misunderstood and confusing, so I’m giving you nine principles to help you navigate the tricky middle ground between closeness and distance. 


If you're someone who struggles with ‘How much do I give in a relationship?’ ‘What am I supposed to expect or allowed to expect?’ ‘Why does this relationship feel so confusing?’ This episode is definitely for you.
