9. Mental self-care and redefining “setting boundaries” with Irene Oyang

Can "setting boundaries" with other people be yet another form of finger-pointing rather than turning the mirror back to ourselves?

How do we know whether we are trying to avoid a healing opportunity (which can be messy and painful) by "setting boundaries?"

Listen in to this week's {potentially} controversial topic with my very dear sister Irene as my guest.

We speak about:

• How we can miss out on healing opportunities and bypass deeper self-work when we are too quick to set boundaries with people who trigger us

• Recognizing good stress, and balancing stress with rest for better personal growth, healing, and development

• The need for everyone to reinvestigate our old emotional wounds rather than never ripping off the Band-aids

 

Irene Oyang is a mental performance coach, empowering world class athletes with tools to find and perform their best. She also loves diving into the world of inner work and transformation, after a mental health crisis in 2015 that catalyzed her healing journey. Her journey has led her to exploring inner landscapes so that she may guide others to do the same.
