In this podcast episode of HERE TO THRIVE, I was honored to be joined by Jenn Bovee. Jenn is a Psychotherapist, Mindset Coach, Hypnotherapist and Spiritual Mentor. She is also a fellow writer for the Huffington Post.
This is a juicy episode. Jenn specifically addresses:
- Parts of her personal journey, and how she came to learn the importance of boundaries.
- What exactly boundaries are.
- How you can identify your personal boundaries.
- The 3 different types of boundaries.
- Some of the traits of Empaths, and why boundaries are especially important for Highly Sensitive People.
Jenn gives 3 specific sentence completions in the podcast that she has her clients complete as a way to identify their boundaries. Use these 3 prompts to jog you to write. Don’t judge, but rather just let the pen flow:
- People may not …
- I have the right to …
- To protect my time and energy it is ok to …
Perhaps one of my favorite parts of the podcast is how Jenn defines boundaries as “limits of what we are willing to accept and willing to give.” I was always prone to thinking of boundaries about what I was willing to accept, so thinking about it being what I was also willing to give was a real ah-ha moment for me!
