Then the Good Rabbi Mark wraps up the curriculum part of the series with a heaping helping of helpful hints.
Watch the Good Rabbi Mark explain all about asserting boundaries.
Asserting Boundaries
When setting boundaries
- Be specific
- Be reasonable
- Make the boundary enforceable
- Make the boundary logical
Reinforcing thoughts to maintain boundaries
- Remember boundaries are acts of self care, not attempts to change another person or control their behavior
- Stop explaining and justifying
- Face your fear
- Be honest
- Know that "No" is a complete sentence
- If you feel guilt when first setting boundaries, feel it and do it anyway
