We can forgive AND have boundaries. Part of forgiveness IS having boundaries and having effective boundaries actually makes it more possible for forgiveness to happen. Forgiveness is one of the most loving things we can do for ourselves and others - when we are ready. Forgiveness is NOT staying in an abusive relationship. Forgiveness actually is protective, strong and honors our own self.

Sometimes we can think that by not forgiving someone we’re preventing the hurt from happening again. We can’t confuse forgiveness with permissiveness. It’s not saying “this horrific thing that happened is actually okay.” It’s a continued choice to seek personal freedom.

Time does not heal all wounds - it’s an active, intentional process that creates space for our own and others’ humanness.

Objectification can show up in many different forms. It’s a first step towards dehumanization. It harms both the person engaging in the behavior and the person who is being objectified. The impact is far reaching and sometimes it’s hard to recognize when we’re engaging in it. Essentially anytime we’re treating another person like an object or thing - we’re engaging in objectification.

These recommendations are from the American Academy of Pediatrics and various other health organizations so don’t come at me 😅🤪 I know most of us are just doing the best we can so definitely don’t use these as a reason to beat yourself up! I also feel like information can help us make change and I fully believe that collectively we can be doing alot better with our general screen use 💕 I hope this is helpful! If you are struggling to set boundaries around devices with your kids and maybe even yourself (since it often starts with mom/dad) one of our therapists would be happy to help.

To feel deeply heard is to feel deeply seen and known.

-J💛

Kate Murphy’s book “You’re Not Listening” is packed with insights related to the gift of listening and how we can be better at it.

Guilt “fits the facts” of a situation when we’ve done something wrong or acted in a way that is incongruent with our values. It does NOT “fit the facts” of a situation when we haven’t done anything wrong.

If you’re curious about what to do when you feel an emotion that doesn’t “fit the facts” one of our favorite tools is a DBT skill called “Opposite Action.” One of our therapists can help walk you through this skill OR you can find a ton of resources online to practice on your own 💛

If you are someone or know someone who is in need of support with compulsive/entitled sexual behaviors we’d love to have them this weekend at our workshop here in Henderson. This will be held in person in a small group setting. If you’re not in the Vegas area send us a DM and we’d love to get you on the waitlist for our next virtual workshop.

Boundaries don’t disappear during the holidays. Your needs don’t change with the seasons.

Per Brené: We can be clear and kind.

We can matter to ourselves and others can matter to us too. Remember that boundaries are loving! They prevent resentment from building up by using our voice, not over extending ourselves and advocating for our needs. They are powerful!

Practice being gentle with yourself and those who love you. You may need to repeat your boundary multiple times to a well meaning loved one as they learn to do something new as well.

We can’t wait to hear about your post holiday boundary wins! 💪
