It is no misconception that females are given trauma in life. If you're a female, I would be hard pressed to believe you haven't experienced some form of traumatic experiencing from sexual exploitation, harassment, the pressure to conform and an inability to form appropriate ego states due to narratives passed down from patriarchal pedagogies. Understanding the ways in which females construct our own internal narratives is important to voicing what we experience. For many girls, like myself, the narrative of the "good girl" is something that creeps into the thoughts and actions of my life. The personification of the "good girl" narrative is something that hinders my ability to live within a degree of wholeness. It is hard for me to admit that I experience - rage. Rage for the hurt and pain that was bestowed on me, but even more relatively, rage for my stolen identities. The powerlessness I've felt from the pressure to conform and the narratives of women who have come before me. Collectively, as a society, we participate in a scripting of mainstream female identities that limit our self-expression and ability to fully experience and embrace our true feminine power.

Setting boundaries doesn't mean you're selfish and unconcerned about people's needs. It doesn't make your heart too hard, it doesn't make you a colder person. It means that you care enough for relationships to go smoothly by setting your limits and making it clear so that other people understand it. No one has a right to possess you and to do whatever they want with you. It is okay to say "no".

Notice the red flags when people cannot accept "no" for an answer and disrespect your boundaries while trying to manipulate you into thinking your boundaries are too harsh and hurt them too much. The hypocrisy is that they do not care if they are hurting you by infringing those limitations. No amount of emotional manipulation should make you give up on your boundaries and put up with whatever people want you to.

Recognize the red flags and walk away, because those flags will keep getting bigger and bigger, their behavior will keep getting worse as they push into doing things for them that you are not comfortable with. Boundaries are meant to be respected, and if they aren't, don't give up on your own comfort and safety just to make someone else happy.

When beginning the process of healing and setting boundaries, whether that with yourself or with other people in your life it is important to understand that *boundaries* are a healthy and pivotal part of emotional health.

1. Physical Boundaries

physical boundaries can look like the following, "I am really tired and need to sit down." "I am not a big hugger" and even saying no to "sex."

2. Emotional Boundaries

Emotional boundaries are all about respecting and honoring feelings and energy. Setting emotional boundaries means recognizing the amount of emotional energy you are able to take in.

3. Communication Boundaries

Communication boundaries may be classified as the type of communication you are receiving or not receiving from another individual. Setting a communication boundary may look like, "I will call you at 5:00 p.m." "Please, do not text or call me more than two times."

4. Mental Boundaries

Mental boundaries are a lot like emotional boundaries - it is all about understanding your limits mentally and how much you're willing to tolerate.

Setting a mental boundary could look like saying, "Hey, gossiping about XYZ feels really draining for me."

5. Time Boundaries

Time boundaries are all about setting limits on your time and being able to be respected in setting those limits.

In many workplaces, time boundaries can become impaired, it is important to learn how to set these boundaries as not to get burned out.

Setting a time boundary can look like saying, "Hello, I have a hard stop at 4:00"

Boundaries are an important and vital step to having a clear mind and staying at peace with yourself. 🧿

Having the Courage to Be Disliked

“Having the Courage to Be Disliked,” is a book written by Ichiro Kishimi and follows a conversation between a young boy and a philosopher as they discuss the tenets of Alfred Adler’s theories. Adler, a clinical psychologist, is a twentieth-century psychologist who believes in the liberating approach to happiness which is that every human being has their own power and potential to live a happy and fulfilled life.

The basis of Adler’s theories are condensed to a couple of powerful key points including the belief that all psychological suffering is maintained through an individual's social inferiority. The theory also focuses on familial relations, birth order and social interactions that could help with the development of interpersonal growth.

Having the courage to be disliked is about understanding where our inferiority complexes stem from and how they're impacting our personal identity or 'way of being in the world.' If we show up with inferiority surrounding ourselves or we develop an alternate 'superiority' complex, we're inviting interpersonal dissatisfaction into ourselves. Have the courage to be disliked is about removing those barriers and entering into a space where it is "okay to be you." The you that is whole, damaged, worthy and even unworthy of love. The idea of the book hinges on retraining the mind to accept others and yourself just as you are.
