Carrie and Danielle: Healthy Boundaries: How to stay in your own boat

  • pearl_mattenson · 1 year ago
    Yes, Yes, Yes, Carrie. Thank you for this reminder. And a perspective I would add is that when we do really sit in our own boat, we discover that other people are incredibly resourceful and creative seamen in their own right. It not only helps us maintain our own boundaries but gives us a good view to the capacity of others, as well.

    The concept of being in your own boat is used by David Schynarch, Ph.D in his book Passionate Marraige, as well. I think it's brilliant and very empowering, while also holding others capable, as Pearl has said.

    Love the photo!
