The Balance Between Compassion and Boundaries

We often face situations that make us feel like we have to choose between being compassionate and setting boundaries. But what if I told you that both are equally important?

On this episode of Building Resilience, we’ll get into the balance between compassion and boundaries. Understanding our nervous systems can help foster self-compassion and compassion for others, but we also need to do the important work of protecting ourselves through healthy boundaries.

Using examples from the movie It Ends With Us and real-life scenarios, we break down why compassion should never justify mistreatment or abuse. Learn how to use your awareness of the nervous system to avoid burnout, engage with others more effectively, and set boundaries that keep relationships healthy.
