The Real Reason Other People’s Boundaries Make Us Cross

On this episode

When someone else sets boundaries, do you feel able to do the same, or do you resent their ability to say no? Often, our anger towards others’ boundaries comes from our own unmet needs and desires, and what presents itself as resentment is actually envy.

Guilt, shame, and fear often prevent us from expressing our own needs, which just compounds those negative emotions. Without shifting our mindset, we can end up adopting a victim mindset and feeling even more trapped.

In this quick dip episode, Rachel describes how we can identify our underlying needs, find ways to express them, and take small, practical steps towards getting what we want, even if it feels unattainable.
