And this is Dear Therapists. 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: This week, we're going to check in on a guest 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: from season two to hear how they're doing a year later. First, 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: a quick note, Dear Therapists is for informational purposes only, 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: does not constitute medical or psychological advice, and is not 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: a substitute for professional health care advice, diagnosis, or treatment. 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: Always seek the advice of your physician, mental health professional, 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: or other qualified health provider with any questions you may 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: have regarding a medical or psychological condition.

In the sessions you'll hear, all 17 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: names have been changed for the privacy of our guests. Today, 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: we're going to check in with Paul. Paul's episode was 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: called Paul's Inappropriate Boss, and the story was that Paul 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: worked in the library with Sharon, his boss, and she 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: would text him after work hours, all kinds of late 22 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: hours of the night, even though Paul asked her not 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: to do it and to respect his private time. She 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: would also delegate her own responsibilities to him but not 25 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: credit him for handling them, and she would violate his 26 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: boundaries in other ways. Now, Paul tried setting limits with Sharon, 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: but he felt she wasn't respecting those limits, and since 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: she was his boss, he also felt powerless as to 29 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: what else he could do as a subordinate without risking 30 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: his job or opportunities for advancement. Sharon Aciety enjoyed being 31 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: a librarian. He just wasn't sure what path to take 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: given his current situation. So let's get a reminder from 33 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: that session. Sharon, for example, I kind of went back 34 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: into that situation where you know, just by her walking in, 35 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: I'd be able to tell by the look on her 36 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: face if she was going to be crowdy all day. 37 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: She would kind of contact me outside of work to 38 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: keep that conversation going. I would just see my phone 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: light up and be a text message, and I said, hey, 40 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: if this is work related and I'm not at work, 41 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: I really would like if you could just email me instead. 42 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: She didn't really do that. So I think generally it's 43 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: just this predisposition to being so into and in tune 44 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: with people and then modifying my behavior to make sure 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: that I'm not making them angry and anything. That also 46 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: goes along with why I have so much difficulty with 47 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: like the second guessing kind of thing, where if I 48 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: do set a boundary, I think to myself, am I 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: being mean? Is this you know? Am I presenting it 50 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: in the wrong way? Is it reasonable? Yeah? Exactly. You're 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: listening to Dear Therapists from my Heart Radio. We'll be 52 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: back after a short break, so let's see how Paul 53 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: is doing a year later. Hey Laurie, Hey guy, it's Paul, 54 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: and I'm calling to update you about how things have 55 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: been since I was on the show. So since being on, 56 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: I'd say that my level of stress and anxiety around 57 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: work and working with Sharon has come down almost to 58 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: the point of being non existent. Of course, there's periods 59 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: of time when that's not the case, but I've gotten 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: a lot better at figuring out how to set boundaries 61 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: to make my day a little bit easier. I've continued 62 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: to read a lot about boundaries and mental health and 63 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time sharing content from the mental 64 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: health community on Instagram, including the content from you, Laurie 65 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: and Guy. And I've really enjoyed how many of my 66 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: friends have been sharing the same content and initiating conversations 67 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: with me about boundaries. So the issues I had when 68 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: we talked are nearly gone at this point, and I 69 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: feel completely different about the situation than I did when 70 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: we first talked. Like Laurie said, Sharon tried to slip 71 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: text in every now and again after our conversation, so 72 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: I reminded her, usually in person when we were back 73 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: in the office, that I wouldn't respond to messages when 74 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm off work. Eventually she stopped and would mention to 75 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: me how she wanted to send me something over the 76 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: weekend but decided she shouldn't because she didn't want to 77 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: bother me during my time off. So it seems like 78 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: she did actually understand what I was asking for when 79 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: we had our conversation about not talking outside of work. 80 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: There's actually some changes coming up, and Sharon is not 81 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: going to be my boss anymore after next month, so 82 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: I think the dynamic is going to continue to change 83 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: for the better. As a result of our conversation, I've 84 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: gotten so much better at understanding and being aware of 85 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: how much control I actually have in every relationship. I've 86 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: been able to accept that I can't control others, and 87 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: I can use what I know about people or what 88 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: I might anticipate they will do to help me make 89 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: better choices about how I want to handle things. So 90 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: because of that, I feel a lot less responsible for 91 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: how others respond to me and a lot more responsible 92 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: for doing what's best for me. Since I don't get 93 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,559 Speaker 1: much fulfillment from the relationships I have with people at work, 94 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: I've made it a point to make some new friends 95 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: and set up recurring called some people I really enjoy, 96 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: so that's helped me make up for what I don't 97 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: get when I'm in the office. This situation I experienced 98 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: was pretty difficult for me, but what's come amount of 99 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: it has been great. I feel like my relationships have 100 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: become so much better, and I'm better able to recognize 101 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: people who are good for me to be around. The 102 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: most important thing I realized was how much my mindset 103 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: was the same was it was when I was younger 104 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: and had no choice about to be obedient, even if 105 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: it was harmful to me. Listening back to the podcast 106 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: episode is actually a little scary to see how much 107 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: we can imprison ourselves based on what we think and 108 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: how I thought that there wasn't anything I can do 109 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: to make my situation better. Knowing how much control I 110 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: do actually have incredibly important, because it's true in every 111 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: relationship I have, and there are very few circumstances where 112 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: anyone can be a hundred percent stock. I've taken what 113 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: I've learned from our conversation. I've applied it to all 114 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: of my relationships. I feel so much more comfortable having 115 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: and expressing what I need, and when people show me 116 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: that they can or won't follow what I'm asking for, 117 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: I adjust my mindset expectations accordingly. Of course, it's still 118 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: disappointing when I find that someone is unable to respect 119 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: my boundaries, but the reality is that everyone's not from 120 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: and I'm not for everyone, so it's okay to not 121 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: expect that everyone can and will be able to respect 122 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: my boundaries. All this time later, and I'm still really 123 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: grateful for the conversation that we had. Each time I've 124 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: listened to the podcast again, I've heard another layer of 125 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: kindness and compassion from you both, and I really appreciate 126 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: having had you both to encourage me. I think my 127 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: conversation with Sharon gave me permission to set boundaries everywhere 128 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: in my life, and it only gets easier each time. 129 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: For anyone listening, I really want them to know that 130 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: I can seem really hard and scary to advocate for 131 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: yourself when no one around you who's ever respected your boundaries, 132 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: but you can still set them, and you really should 133 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: be proud of yourself when you do, no matter the 134 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: response you get. What I love about hearing from people 135 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: a year later is that we know what happened the 136 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: week after we had a session with them, and usually 137 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: there's some progress that's made, but a year later you 138 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 1: can really see how the session has impacted their life 139 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: in a much more global way. And I love what 140 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: Paul said about how when he started setting boundaries at work, 141 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: it translated to other areas of his life and now 142 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: he applies it to all of his relationships. And I 143 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: think the other important thing is that he was able 144 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: to see from our conversation the connection between his inability 145 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: to set boundaries as a child and that feeling of 146 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: helplessness and then not being able to do that as 147 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: an adult and realizing that he is free to do 148 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: that now. He isn't shackled in that way. And I 149 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: think when people make those connections, that's the first step 150 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: in really setting themselves free and being able to set 151 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: expectations for what they want in their relationships. I completely agree, 152 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: and I think after a year you can see not 153 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: just what he understood and is applying, but what he 154 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: really internalized. And what he's internalized is the message here 155 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: that boundaries are a statement about what you won't accept, 156 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: not about what the other person should do. And that 157 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: helps you because you can only be responsible for setting 158 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: the boundary, not for whether they listen to it. You 159 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: might have to keep setting it. And he really got that, 160 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: and it sounds like he doesn't get triggered when that 161 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: happens occasionally with Sharon anymore. He very calm about it 162 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: because he understands that's not a reflection on him. That 163 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: he'll just repeat the boundary. And then sure enough she 164 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: actually comes to him and says, at some point, oh, 165 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: I was gonna text you, but I didn't because I 166 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: know you don't like it. So there's the proof of 167 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: the pudding that he really got it, and he was 168 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: so consistent that she finally got it. And what he 169 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: did so beautifully was he maintained the boundary. I think 170 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people feel like, if I set the 171 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: boundary and then the other person violates my boundary, then 172 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: the boundary has failed. And what people start to discover 173 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: about boundaries is that they need to be maintained. That 174 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: simply and clearly. You need to repeat the boundary, often 175 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: for quite a while in the beginning, until the person 176 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: really gets it. And it sounds like even when Sharon 177 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: tested those boundaries, he was able to stay clear about 178 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: what his boundary was. And I know that a lot 179 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: of our listeners have issues with boundaries, a because we 180 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: hear from them about that, and be because given no work, 181 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: we know that a lot of people have trouble setting boundaries. 182 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: And again, the typical mistake is they might set the boundary, 183 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: but then they don't maintain it. What we're hearing from 184 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: Paul is that once he learned to do it in 185 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: one domain, in one relationship, he's been able to do 186 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: it in others. And I think the tip for our 187 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: listeners here is that this is a skill set if 188 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: you need to develop it, start with the easiest people 189 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: with whom you can set the boundary and maintain it. 190 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: And once you've acquired the skill set and see that 191 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: it works despite the emotional discomfort of having to repeatedly 192 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: set the boundary, that gives you more confidence to than 193 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: apply it in other relationships. And what Paul said is 194 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: really important that it can be scary to set boundaries, 195 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: especially in the beginning, if you haven't had the experience 196 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: of people respecting your wants or your needs earlier in life. 197 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: And I'm so glad that he acknowledged that, because think 198 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: that a lot of people feel like, well, what's wrong 199 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: with me that I'm so scared to set a boundary? 200 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: And I think you see with Paul, he was afraid, 201 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: he pushed through and it really worked out well for him. 202 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: So I hope that listeners will go back and listen 203 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: to the episode Paul's Inappropriate Boss here where he was 204 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: back then and learned something about themselves and how they 205 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: can set boundaries from Paul's experience. And it's funny because 206 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: Paul said, when I re listened to the episode, I 207 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: learned something new. Each time there's a new layer that 208 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: he discovers, and I think our listeners will have the 209 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: same experience. But Laurie, I want to tell you something. 210 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: I listened to one of our episodes a few days 211 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: ago from last season, and I heard new layers and 212 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: some of the things that you were saying. In other words, 213 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: you can't attend to all the information all at once. 214 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: Every time you listen, you learn something. These are episodes 215 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: that are worth really listening to, especially if you have 216 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: some kind of issue, some kind of difficulty in that 217 00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 1: similar domain. Next week, a woman who has elaborate revenge 218 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: fantasies about the people in her life wants to understand 219 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: why she does this and how she can stop. I 220 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: have no training and how to have a positive conversation. 221 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: I think it feels shameful as a grown woman that 222 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: I can't defend myself, and so I chake all about 223 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: her and channel it towards these letters.
