Understanding Hidden Boundary Crossings- We shift focus from others' boundary violations to our own.- Identifying these subtle transgressions is crucial for personal growth. **Family Members as Boundary Crossers:**- Family members can unintentionally cross boundaries, especially in addiction scenarios.- Recognizing and addressing our behavior comes before expecting a change in others. Personal Example- The host shares an email interaction where they didn't fully address the question.- This example highlights the complexity of maintaining boundaries. Pitfalls of Being the "Nice Guy":- Overemphasis on being "nice" can lead to neglecting our needs, resulting in resentment and boundary crossing. Common Boundary Crossings:- Examples include tone and yelling, using consequences as punishment, passive-aggressive behavior, and rudeness to strangers.- Recognize these subtle violations for healthier interactions. Setting Boundaries Without Announcing Them:- Preemptively announcing boundaries often leads to arguments.- It's more effective to communicate boundaries when relevant. Dealing with a Disappearing Loved One:- Address disappearing behavior honestly but calmly.- Consider whether the relationship is worth maintaining based on your experiences. Handling Insults from an Alcoholic:- If someone mistreats you during rides to work, it's acceptable to withdraw support.- You aren't responsible for solving their transportation issues while tolerating insults.- Self-reflection and addressing hidden boundary crossings are vital for personal growth.- Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries is essential for fostering healthy relationships and self-respect.   Use this link to get 10% off with our sponsor BetterHelp 👉🏻 betterhelp.com/PutTheShovelDown ⚠️These are educational videos and should not be considered therapy or advice specifically for your situation.
