As the week came to an end, I’ve noticed a theme this week in sessions, that of limits and limitations.
Here are my takeaways:
ABOUT LIMITS:
- Everyone around you needs limits from you: your child, your partner, your therapist, your own parents, your best friend; EVERYONE.
- The more afraid you are to set limits, the more hurt, exhausted, resentful, and angry you’ll grow.
- People will “take” from you as much as you can tolerate. It is not their fault or responsibility to “protect” your resources (internal and external).
- You have to be willing to walk away from people (except your children!) who don’t honour your limits/ boundaries.
ABOUT LIMITATIONS:
- Limitations are 99% internal; they are your core beliefs, your cultural conditioning; your early childhood; everything left un-healed and un-integrated. Most limited people are those who claim “I don’t need therapy.”
- Limitations are disguised in excellent justifications. The mind is a sublime “liar” (will tell you anything you want to hear to make you “right”). Develop your Observer muscle. Pay attention to the voices in your head. Get help from a coach or a therapist to understand them.
- Limitations aren’t fixed; they can be fluid and expanded thanks to neuroplasticity and self- awareness work.
