Episode #12: Developing Better Boundaries with Damien Bohler

Radiantly Awakened with Emelitta Da Silva

May 30 2022 • 1 hr 14 mins

This episode is for those of us who have ever struggled with our boundaries… So basically all of us on Planet Earth right now. Boundaries are so crucial if we want to live this life with fulfilling relationships, less triggers, feeling more empowered, and capable.


Unfortunately not many of us grew up with an upbringing that supported the cultivation of a healthy boundary system. This episode is for those who already think they understand how to have healthy boundaries and for those who are still getting started.


Damien is brilliant at explaining these concepts. You might have thought you had a good understanding on what boundaries are and how they apply to your life… At least that’s what I thought before coming across Damien’s work. His understanding and explanation of these concepts was unlike anything I’d ever come across before. Buckle in because you’re about to have your mind blown in the best way possible and be gifted with so much valuable insight.


In this episode, we cover:

  • What is authentic relating and how can it assist you in developing relational intelligence?
  • The 2 main blocks humans have that are in the way of relational harmony
  • An explanation of how your childhood & your nervous system impact your relationships
  • How to identify a regulated vs. a dysregulated nervous system state
  • The media & the mythology of the anxious-avoidant dance
  • What are boundaries? Dispelling the confusion between healthy boundaries & putting up walls
  • Examples of how your childhood may have impacted your boundary system
  • A breakdown of the different types of boundaries and understanding how they are relevant to your relationships
  • Steps for you to start developing more healthy, elegant boundaries



This episode is so freaking valuable & Damien is so generous with everything he shares. I hope it has such a positive impact on you & all of your relationships.


Let me know how it lands for you!


Lots of love,


Emelitta
