#86: Setting Communications Boundaries with an Emotionally Abusive Spouse
Description
Is your unfaithful or sexually addicted spouse defensive, manipulative, or argumentative? Do they deflect and make YOU the primary problem in the marriage instead of owning their sexual sin? Does it feel like you can’t find a “handhold” in a single conversation because they constantly turn the tables on you?
Maybe it’s time to set some healthy COMMUNICATION boundaries.
In this episode of the Hope for Spouses Lunchtime Live, Kim Pullen talks about the purpose and motives for setting boundaries, why safety is the key component to establishing emotional boundaries, and the difference between physical boundaries and communication boundaries.
She’ll also talk about how you can avoid crazy-making conversations by practically applying communication boundaries with your partner, and how you can create a trigger-free, trauma-free space to transform unhealthy habits into godly ones.
