I am endlessly grateful that 9 months ago I came across your channel. Your "Healing the Inner Child" video re-aligned my life.

    How come I never learned this in counseling school? This is a lot about rights and ethics for me These are the things you teach clients. I did not know I had a right to boundaries growing up due to responsibilities heaped on me and it caused me a lot of my trauma. I had no one to model boundaries, like another woman.... but I feel you do that now as I watch you teach this. Comfort and my needs were NEVER considered and or even allowed. You share with me a whole new world of what I call my rights. When other people feel they have a right on you, they do not allow boundaries of respect for my self and my own aims. My own aims were a sin anyway. As you can guess, I went into exhaustion and a trauma response and withdrew deeply into my self.

    Great teaching. It takes me about 2 hours to get thru this when taking notes. Some thought: Nostalgia was a boundary I had to set & maintain. As my kids got older, I realized the sadness that came in and had to focus on today/now. Also, financial boundaries were a big one with my wife. Going thru the steps of Identifying, safety, rejection, abandonment issues helped bring clarity. Thx again.

      Firstly you must build up your personal selfesteem and understand the importance of saying "NO!" it's okay to say no to anything that you don't approve of. Saying no is your right and your obligation too! You're your own personal captain of your ship! People will respect you more for setting boundaries; I guarantee you! You'll begin to attract others who also live by the code of boundary standards; thus making your circle of friends and associates smaller and more secure. I hope this helps! Cheers from Memphis!🎈

      Healing core wounds is huge, through reprogramming the subconscious and reparenting.
      Would you feel guilty telling someone to not touch a small child, or yell at them?
      Treat yourself as you would that small child. You have to show up and advocate for you, because no one else will. We have our own backs and in that way we no longer self betray...guilt no longer is what we are bound by. We are instead standing up for our right to be safe, heard, and ok.
      I hope you can develop this and understand that boundary setting is about having your own back. May you have peace.

    "Cognitive boundary : awareness of what are our own thoughts and feelings and what are another' s? If you allow yourself to be easily influenced by another's ideas they are too weak. If you always do what is on your mind, and never let yourself be persuaded, the boundaries are too weak. Start paying more attention to your own thoughts, motivations and perceptions, to your inner dialogue. And the thoughts, perceptions and motivations of others, what makes them tick. Its important to recognize who is safe to share things with. Self- awareness of your thoughts, wants and needs is important, and of your motivation for letting them in or keeping them out. Self- esteem is important bcz ppl wont be happy when you maintain boundaries. Self- assertiveness skills, negotiation skills. Maintaining healthy boundaries is not always pleasant but maintaining them.improves our relationship with the world. "

    I have a friend who is a social worker who I feel is always trying to cross my boundaries and overstep the mark. I think she gets used to being the one with all the control in her working life and assumes that can continue outside of work. I find it less & less enjoyable being around her as I feel as though I need to keep my guard up all the time ready to defend myself.

    I lack assertiveness. For most of my life I lacked boundaries too. I am still learning how to maintain the boundaries, and I fail sometimes. I feel angry with myself and with those who violate my boundaries, and with myself for not having strong enough boundaries. I feel better isolating from people, because I don't need to worry about it. Does it ever get better? Great info.

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for sharing this! Transitioning from rigid boundaries to people-pleasing can feel like a pendulum swing, and it’s actually quite common. Often, when we’ve had strict boundaries to protect ourselves, loosening them can feel vulnerable, and it’s easy to slip into people-pleasing as a way to maintain connection. But the fact that you’re finding your way now shows tremendous growth and self-awareness.
      As you explore this middle ground, remember that setting healthy boundaries is a process of trial and error-it’s okay to adjust as you go. Reflecting on what truly feels comfortable and aligned with your values can help guide you. Are there specific areas where boundaries feel harder to set or maintain?

    Sorry for being sooo excited, Doc. Snipes, but I did not know, on an ethical level, that is was okay to set boundaries when people were deeply offended or angry about them. I think that my child in me thinks that is a sin. It is so freeing it when you say they are not. I feel ashamed for not having boundaries now and being a doormat. But with boundaries I am saying that is NOT who I am. I am not a doormat. I am so much better and more valuable than that. These are the first time I am being assertive in my mind about this. Someone is stalking me (a neighbor) and I feel he is telling me I am a doormat because of my long-ago religious beliefs and I owe him something.... ???? I will be getting a restraining order to express that I will not carry this shame of being a doormat, as an empath and a lover of helping and loving others, that makes me need to have to meet their needs very inappropriately. It is like he is trying to force me.

    Hi Doc, could you help me make a difficult decision. I've always had weak boundaries as I'm afraid of rejection and not being liked. Needless to say I grew up in a very dysfunctional, violent and unsafe environment. I wrote and read a letter very calmly and sensitively to my oldeest brother 17 years ago about the pain he had caused me throughout my life, he used to belittle me, wind me up and put me down. A lot of his behaviour is ego based where he has to be right and will never admit he is wrong. Needless to say, he got angry when I read him the letter I wrote and he disagreed with everything that I said. I reluctantly continued a distant relationship with him but held a lot of resentment towards him. Over the last year and a half we have become closer because he supported me during 2 court cases I went through. I didn't ask him to help me but he did and I was very wary of him helping me because he is the type of person who would remind me in years to come that he helped me. Anyway, because of this we talk on the phone about once a week or go out for a walk but I always feel a know in my stomach when I am around him because of all the pain he has caused me that he has not admitted to or apologised for. I know the best predicted of future behaviour is past behaviour but 17 years is a long time. I feel that I must address this unresolved situation because I still feel angry about it. Do you think I should be assertive and put boundaries in place with him and address the pain he caused me in the past or would he just react the same way he did 17 years ago? This is very scary for me because I've always had weak boundaries and I hate confrontation and upset and I don't know if I am strong enough to deal with the outcome of this situation. Kind regards, Ryan.

      I share similar situation. From my experience, the sibling never accepted the wrongs! It was pointless for me to continue with the conversation. I would say evaluate the pros and cons before addressing the issue, for it might not be resolved(I'm no expert, speaking from experience) best of luck.

      Hi Ryan, nor am I an expert in this field, although a couple of things that I have learned along my journey of healing from my past. 1)Healing 1st starts with You and Your needs, no one will meet Your needs better then you. Give yourself some TLC. ❤2) You will NOT always get the closure that You want nor to have the brotherhood that your heart desires. Embrace what you have with him and as you learn to be your own best friend, you will be able to give that type of friendship to him. 3) Forgive, forgiveness starts with You 1st and people next. this may be a daily chore and how likes to do chores, lol but is needed 😉 4) be easy on yourself, show up for Your life and prove to yourself 1st that you can hold to your own boundaries of taking care of yourself which in turn builds your self esteem and self confidence. I hope something in this paragraph helps with your journey. 🌼

    I understand empathy better now does not have to involve absorbing their feelings as if they are your own directive to act and rescue. I don't have to act on others feelings but they are still making me responsible for them and I feel guilty for not responding to them in a way that "helps" them. You are also telling me I don't have to be ashamed of who I am. I am not a people pleaser and I don't want to be ashamed of that I am not that giving and instead I can have boundaries that makes me proud of having enough sense of self that I don't have to "fill in" with people-pleasing duties to have any value to the people close to me. I have had rigid boundaries so I did not have to let in more shame for who I am and what I did not do right for someone else in forced roles. So now maybe I can be flexible. I guess I am finding out that I have good stuff to share and it ain't for free anymore.

    I have found Isolation the absolute best way to express boundaries. Next is Solitude and Celibate. I don't care what anyone needs or wants because nobody has cared what i needed or wanted. I will not invest anything in any American Women again because I will not repeat lessons i have learned. Also as a man that lives in poverty this is the only way for me to achieve financially independence. When i achieve success. I will live the last half of my life Solo without anyone else in my physical reality. Using the Internet deliveries to implement Self Isolation.

    I have a problem with neighbor there child kept coming over and he is a strange kid not one with autism that doesn't Bother me I have an autistic son myself but he is grown now. This kid is not autistic he is weird and entitled! honestly I see him as a future criminal type sadly. His parents don't pay attention to him he terrorizes the neighborhood while they stay at home drinking he lets peoples dogs out of their yard and he opened every door we had looked in our shed and storage room played with our pool cleaning tools (which are expensive) we bought fixer upper so my husband hard power tools out back . This kid kept coming on our property nosing around we kept asking his parents to keep him off our property, but his Father who was an ex cop thrown off 2 different departments the force for harassing woman and excessive force. He started telling me you just don't like kids everyone else is fine with him (I hav e7 kids and an education degree) Then he demanded I give him are video footage and claimed to be a cop. Since he was a cop these cops don't care and don't. help us even though my husband is military intel. I have no respect for this chipmunk police around here after all this. His wife is an divorce attorney ( I have no idea why she hasn't left him she totally win in court obviously he tried to cheat on her) Anyhow this people were told from day one my husband and I both have PTSD. Im so enraged by how ignore society is how they blow off a mental health issue and boundaries clearly drawn I feel so violated and now the neighbors all think I'm being a b" We are NOT people people! like you said about the delivery man if Im not getting a package I don't wanna see you !!!! Even if its a intrusive entitled nosey kid with crappy parents HELP WHAT THE HELL DO I DO ? fed up and so violated
