The thing is, most of us are highly intelligent folks: naturally responsible, empathic, caring and resourceful.
In fact, a lot of us have made a literal career out of being compassionate -- and we're good at it, too!
Many of us are counselors, teachers, physicians, social workers, chaplains, nurses, attorneys, non-profit leaders, accountants, physical therapists, coaches, healers, yoga teachers, engineers, scientists, artists, professors, librarians...
(the list goes on)!
In other words, WE are the folks other people come to for help with THEIR problems.
So... where do we go to get help with our own?
And how can we set boundaries (in a way that feels loving) if we've never been shown how?
Because that's the thing. No one has ever shown us the truth about boundaries in a way that makes sense to our compassionate heart.
No wonder we're totally confused about what and where our true boundaries are (much less how to integrate and embody them)!
Isn't it time for a change?
