Season 8, Episode 28
In this episode of Talking FACS, Dr. Natese Dockery explores what healthy boundaries are, why they matter, and how poor boundaries can lead to burnout, resentment, and health problems. The episode defines different types of boundaries (physical, emotional, time, mental) and highlights common signs you may need stronger limits.
Dr. Dockery shares practical steps listeners can use right away:
- identify needs and limits,
- choose which boundaries to set,
- use clear I-statements to communicate limits, and
- stay consistent while prioritizing self-care.
Listeners will learn that setting boundaries is essential—not selfish—for protecting mental well-being and improving relationships.
