Learning to set Boundaries
Boundaries arenât something that necessarily comes intuitively to all of us. Especially when youâre a child of immigrants, latinx, or grow up in communal settings. Sometimes personal space and time to yourself can feel like a luxury. Often we associate boundaries with âAmericanâ values when weâre from communities of color.
Learning boundaries are necessary to respect your self, those around you and have healthy relationships. Itâs not about being mean itâs the opposite being clear about your needs to be able to grow.
This episode Joy Valerie is talking with Grecia Dominguez Huesca about why this is necessary and how weâve set boundaries with our own families in a loving way even when weâre being guilt-tripped.
Weâre learning to understand where people are coming from but also understanding itâs not our duty to take on everyoneâs issues.
