Rayna Neises, ACC, host, reflects on the topics shared during last week’s interview with Debra Hallisey. She revisits the concepts around relationships that Debra shared from her book, The Caregiver’s Relationship Contract. In addition, Rayna explores how to set boundaries and navigate renegotiating them. Be sure to download the free resource Rayna provides related to these topics.
- All relationships require boundaries.
- Understanding your emotions can help you see if your boundaries are as strong as they should be.
- Healthy boundaries ask others to respect your uniqueness, your choices, and your autonomy.
- When caregiving, the needs are legitimate and real, but your boundaries need to be there as well.
- Remember the quote from Anne Lamont, “No is a complete sentence.”
- When setting boundaries, say, “I want to help, and this is what I need to be able to.”
- Check out Debra’s book to view her suggestions to better navigate these conversations.
