Send us a text

Episode Summary:

In Week 9 of The Warrior Within, Liz Blanding tackles one of the most transformational skills in trauma recovery: boundaries. For many survivors, especially those from chaotic homes, military environments, or abusive relationships, boundaries were broken before they were ever built. In this episode, Liz breaks down what boundaries are, how trauma disrupts them, and how rebuilding them can lead to self-worth, peace, and emotional wholeness.

Key Topics Covered:

• Understanding the types of boundaries (physical, emotional, financial, spiritual)
• How trauma, especially military and CPTSD, disrupts boundaries
• Common trauma beliefs: “I can’t say no,” “Love means overgiving”
• Personal story of learning to say no and reclaiming peace
• Scripture reflection: Proverbs 4:23
• Reflection prompt: “Where have I been afraid to speak up — and what would change if I did?”
