Why Boundaries Feel Unnatural When You Start Setting Them

Описание: Does saying "no" feel more like a threat than a relief?

You do exactly what the self-help books say. You protect your time, you state your needs, and you hold the line. But instead of feeling empowered, your chest tightens. Your stomach drops. The guilt doesn't just whisper—it screams that you’re being selfish, cold, or "not who they thought you were."

In this video, we are dismantling the myth that boundaries should feel good right away. If you feel "wrong" when you're being clear, it isn't because you're failing—it’s because you are destabilizing an identity built on being useful, available, and easy.

What we’re exploring:
The Identity of Usefulness: Why boundaries feel like a threat to your very worth when you've been rewarded for being "the one everyone can count on."

The Guilt Alarm: Understanding guilt not as a moral compass, but as a survival response to breaking old "rules" of belonging.

The Validation Gap: Why your nervous system panics when the feedback loop of approval disappears.

Internal Permission: Why boundaries collapse when they are built on willpower instead of identity-level alignment.

Boundaries aren't just a skill you learn; they are a version of yourself you grow into. It’s time to stop interpreting discomfort as a "stop sign" and start seeing it as the evidence of your transition.
