In Episodes #20, #76 & #77, I had some great conversations with guests about boundaries. Today’s guests, Jan & Jillian Yuhas, twin sisters who are both psychologists and mediators, have a unique take on working with boundaries that emerged from their 20 years of experience in interpersonal psychology and mediation.

Welcome to “Boundary Badass: A Powerful Method for Elevating Your Value and Relationships” Episode #138 of Co-creating Peace, a series about conscious communication and conflict transformation.

Highlights of our conversation include:

• Using “I”- statements to talk about our boundaries and our values
• The importance of exploring shared values to help us find common ground
• Using open-ended questions as “discovery” questions to help us respond to a triggering statement from a heart-centered, non-reactive place.
• Moving from “me” to “we” to inspire collaboration and help elevate relationships

Jan Yuhas, M.A., MFT, and Jillian Yuhas, M.A., MFT, are Relationship Experts, Boundary, and Conflict Resolution Consultants, and the authors behind 'Boundary Badass: A Powerful Method For Elevating Your Value and Relationships.'
