Episode 98- Boundaries and the Holidays, Interview with Bernie Byars, LPC

In this episode of An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth, Sydney and Kelly sit down with Bernie Byars, LPC, for an insightful conversation about boundaries—what they are, why they matter, and how to navigate them with clarity and compassion.

  • Defining a boundary..yeses and nos, to safeguard your own wellbeing
  • People pleasing...can interfere with our boundaries
  • Being uncomfortable may be a sign you need a boundary
  • Misusing a boundary...controlling or manipulating another person
  • Boundaries are only about yourself
  • Boundaries don't need to be over-explained
  • Boundaries with using words
  • Self-respect grows when setting boundaries
  • Asking for what you need, not just what you don't need
