Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall-How to set boundaries
Description
1Why is saying “no” so hard? In this episode of Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall, we strip away the myths and discomfort around setting boundaries—showing why it’s not selfish, it’s essential. We dive into the psychology of boundaries, from how they protect your emotional well-being to why guilt and fear often keep us from holding them. You’ll learn the difference between healthy, rigid, and porous boundaries, how to recognize when yours are being crossed, and practical steps to communicate your limits with confidence. We also share our own stories of boundary wins (and fails), explore cultural and personality factors that influence them, and give you scripts you can use in real life—whether with friends, family, coworkers, or even yourself.
If you’ve ever felt drained, resentful, or overcommitted, this episode will help you reclaim your time, energy, and peace without losing your compassion.
