| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of the Therapy in a Nutshell podcast. I'm Emma McAdam and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. |
| 0:09.0 | And this podcast is all about taking the life-changing, but usually kind of complicated topics of therapy and boiling them down into simple, easy-to-understand concepts that you can use in your daily life. If you find today's |
| 0:21.7 | episode is helpful to you, please pass it on to someone else who could benefit from it as well. |
| 0:25.7 | Each podcast episode comes from a corresponding video you can find on the Therapy in a |
| 0:30.0 | nutshell YouTube channel. Also, these podcasts are educational and don't replace the advice |
| 0:34.6 | or direction you may be receiving from a therapist or other health professionals. Now please, enjoy the episode. Hi, everyone. Today, I'm super excited that we're going to be talking about boundaries with a boundaries expert, Jess Miller. We're going to be talking about the nitty-gritty of setting boundaries. Why do we feel anxious when we do it? Why do we feel guilty after we do it? Why do we maybe shake or cry when we do it? What's the |
| 0:54.3 | difference between being mean and setting a boundary? What's the difference between an ultimatum |

| 1:13.7 | She's a licensed marriage and family therapist. |
| 1:16.2 | She has 12 years of clinical experience. |
| 1:18.8 | And she's also a creator that I love on Instagram. |
| 1:21.2 | Her channel is called Mind Your Boundaries. |
| 1:23.1 | She has over 90,000 followers over there. |
| 1:25.2 | And she gives people great advice about how to communicate |
| 1:28.9 | their needs and their boundaries in clear and caring ways that respect both them and other people. |
| 1:36.6 | I'm excited to jump in. Let's go. |
| 1:41.0 | Hey, well, Jess, thank you. Thank you so much for being here. Really happy to talk with you today. |
| 1:45.5 | Thank you so much for having me on it. Awesome. Great. Well, let's just jump right in. How would you define a boundary? |
| 1:51.0 | I guess a boundary that works for me is like a self-imposed ruler limit that keeps me safe, balanced, and strengthens my relationships. |
| 2:00.6 | Okay. |
| 2:01.2 | That sounds so essential to a good, healthy life. |
