Emotions: Unlocked - Episode Five - Boundaries
In this episode of the 'Emotions Unlocked' podcast, Emma and Jemima engage in a compelling discussion about the importance of setting boundaries.
The key focus is understanding that emotional health and personal happiness often rely on establishing healthy boundaries.
After recognising that external boundaries often mirror internal ones, they explore how setting boundaries can lead to profound personal change.
Furthermore, they show that not upholding personal boundaries might restrict individual growth. They also mention how the absence of boundaries can lead to people-pleasing behaviours that compromise one's own desires and needs.
The conversations also emphasise the significance of understanding one's emotions, particularly frustration, to identify what one truly wants.
The episode includes an example of boundary-setting through a discussion about re-evaluation during difficult times and using a visualisation of a protective 'bubble'.
