Welcome back to the Breaking Our Borders Podcast! I’m Dr. Michelle Border. Do you ever wish you could stop worrying, being anxious, or having catastrophic thinking? I do, and after 15 years of counseling and healing work, it still happens to me. Today I’m going to talk about what each of these topics mean, what happens in our brain when we do them, and how we can learn to control them to have a healthier mindset. So, let’s get started talking about all of that right now.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the Breaking Our Borders Podcast. Have you ever done something you didn’t want to do, just to make someone else happy? Maybe you went to the movie your partner wanted to see but you didn’t, or you answered a friend’s call because you knew they were having problems, but you really didn’t have the time (or energy) to talk to them? Then after you do something you didn’t want to do you feel a little resentful that you didn’t stand up for yourself and do what you wanted? Boy, I sure have. That’s why today I’m going to talk about creating healthy boundaries without feeling guilty about having them. I will explain what boundaries are, why we need them, and how to build them without feeling bad or selfish for thinking about what is best for you. So, let’s get started talking about that right now.

Hello and welcome back! I’m Dr. Michelle Border, and in today’s episode I’m going to talk about mental borders of feeling like you’re not good enough or too much. These are common feelings among survivors of childhood trauma, but can also be developed in children who were neglected from a lack of parenting skills. Today I will talk about how these feelings develop and how to change them. Let’s get started talking about that right now.
