Mostly people you’re setting boundaries with aren’t going to like your boundaries because it takes away their full access to treat you like shit
having boundaries? that’s emotional, insistent & aggressive.
Tell me why blocking is preferable to ignoring or muting? Blocking is emotional, insistent, and aggressive. It is almost always used as revenge because the blocked made the blocker feel small.

Years ago, a therapist I was working with made me go on Match so I could get used to rejection. It was a slow fall into the abyss of dating after 40. In the beginning every bad date, every ghost, every catfish, felt like a micro-abandonment. I’m 50 now. The freedom of giving no fucks is liberation!

Hello perimenopause.
I have to carry tweezers in my car now because that’s where you get the best light to tweeze chin hairs.
Also, anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia and eating disorders are highly correlated with you Ms.PM
But let’s not talk about aging vaginas. Gross
Thanks hormone monster.

It has been said that a therapist cannot take a patient further than they themselves have gone. Perhaps this also applies to a therapist’s 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 to change. If we cannot be moved, we cannot move others. Rigidity can be contagious, as can change.
