Setting Boundaries: Your Guide to Healthy Relationships

Welcome to a combo episode of the AnxietyRX and the Manxiety Podcast! Join me, Dr. Russ Kennedy, and my co-host, Dr. Nima Rahmany, as we dive into the fascinating world of boundaries in interpersonal relationships. In this episode, we define boundaries as vital limits that separate our needs from others', and discuss how setting and communicating them can prevent resentment and foster healthy connections. From understanding trauma responses like fawning to navigating codependency and childhood influences, we cover it all. Ready for some practical wisdom? We wrap up with an exciting announcement about a workshop designed to help you develop secure boundaries and stand up for yourself in relationships.  Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
