Summary

Do you ever wonder when it’s appropriate to set a boundary?

Or do you wish you knew what boundaries to set?

Maybe unhealthy behavior was normalized in your family of origin, making it difficult to know when a request is “reasonable.”

If so, this episode is for you. It’s the second in a two-part series about boundaries and high-functioning codependency (HFC). In this one, we’re covering the five types of boundaries, three boundary styles, and tips for when to set a boundary and how to do it.

You can catch Part 1 here, where we covered boundary basics and talked about the unique challenges HFCs have in setting boundaries.
