TypologyHow to Set and Maintain Healthy Boundaries (S08-023)This week, Anthony and I explore different types of boundaries, offering examples of what this might look like for various Enneagram types.

They tell people what they can expect from us in life and what we can expect from them. When we understand and maintain healthy boundaries, we escape the pitfalls of resentment and disappointment in ourselves and others, and all the anger t...
