In this episode of Cheaper than Therapy the Podcast, we sat down with Nedra Glover Tawwab, MSW, LCSW - author of three bestselling books, licensed therapist, and renowned relationship expert with 15 years of experience in relationship therapy. She is the founder of Kaleidoscope Counseling, where she aids individuals in cultivating healthy relationships through boundary implementation. Nedra's approach is grounded in the belief that many relationship issues stem from a lack of boundaries and assertiveness.Some Takeaways from this Episode:✨Boundaries are Positive: While boundaries are often seen as a way to keep people out, setting boundaries for yourself within relationships with others creates an innate sense of security and trust, rather than seeking it externally, leading to healthier, balanced, and more authentic relationships✨ Motherhood and Personal Capacity: Becoming a parent reduces the capacity you have for taking on the responsibility of other peoples' problems and creates more invisible labor for your day to day, making it absolutely crucial to have open conversations within relationships, and setting boundaries to take care of your well-being✨ Social Media has Limits: It's important to remember the humanness behind social media and set boundaries for sharing, interacting, as well as consuming to protect our time, mental health, and maintain authentic connections with others

ADHDers are notoriously bad at setting boundaries. So many factors go into this, but I believe it's mostly because we feel poorly about ourselves, we don't have a lot of self-trust, and we are embarrassed about our annoying ADHD symptoms. The result of this is that we ADHDers often don't believe we even deserve to set boundaries. Additionally, many of us were not raised in families that talked about or even allowed boundaries to be set…so, it comes to boundaries, most of us are floundering. A big part of having healthy relationships is being able to express our own personal boundaries. But, how? Like actually, HOW? I am by no means an expert on this topic, so I invited an expert on to share her wisdom with us: best-selling author, licensed therapist, and sought-after relationship expert, Nedra Glover Tawwab.

Do you find yourself doing things you hate? How often do you engage with people who drain you, but you still spend time with them anyway? All of us have preferences, but we often don't honor them. Subsequently, we end up burned out and frustrated, leading to resentment. Identifying acts you're pushing yourself to do is the first step to boundary setting.

Those are the three ways to handle people who deplete your energy.” [18:35] “If things aren't working, don't keep going with it. Try something even a tad bit different.”[24:44] "The world is full of human beings [that] are different, and there are some people who will be offended by something [and] there are some people who will get the joke. You have to find your community."[27:39] ”Reading people and telling them how terrible they are is typically not very effective. We don't need to tell people how they're terrible.”About Nedra Nedra Tawwab is a licensed therapist and relationship expert.
