Strategies and Scripts to Start Setting Healthy Boundaries With Family - Terri Cole

Does your family disrespect your boundaries, making it challenging to set and maintain them?

Does your family of origin still treat you like a child?

Or do they simply get mad when you try to set limits or assert your preferences and desires?

If you are nodding your head, then this episode is for you, my friend, because I am diving into why many of us struggle to set boundaries with family and what you can do about it. I also give you a few scripts for when your family of origin offers you unsolicited advice. 🔥
