Welcome to Season #3 of Redemptive Living Radio! We are looking forward to sharing more about recovery post-betrayal with you over the next 12 or so weeks! In this episode, we are continuing the conversation on boundaries.   To recap, in the last episode we talked about how the word “boundary” is used in two different ways.  First, it’s how we define our “limits” in life. Recognizing when someone crosses that limit is an important skill to develop.  The second type of boundary is active in nature and we use it when we are intentionally protecting ourselves from someone we don’t feel safe with. Jason and I then talk about the different categories of boundaries. These include: internal or personal boundaries, relational boundaries, and recovery-related boundaries. Internal boundaries are the limits or the commitments you make to yourself to stay safe and protected. Relational boundaries are the boundaries we have in relationships with others. And recovery-related boundaries are those boundaries necessary in the recovery process.  Keep in mind that recovery-related boundaries look and feel different, one of the reasons they can be so challenging to implement. And finally, just a friendly reminder:  you have permission to set boundaries that protect you and keep you safe.   MasterClasses can be found here. Changes That Heal is an excellent book to read if you are wanting to understand boundaries better. Would love to connect with you on Instagram - @shelley_martinkus.
