Hi Tecomsin,

My therapist helped me learn about boundaries—-I had weak boundaries in the sense I’d overextend myself to help others, for example. I learned how to be more assertive. Admittedly, I have trouble with self-care being priority, meaning taking care of ME first. So, understanding and using boundaries helps.

It may include cutting out toxic people in your life. For example, a friend that triggers you in the sense where you feel lousy around them. A therapist can help with this. Also, with anger....

If you’re triggered and you have PTSD...all I know is that therapy is helpful. (I’m starting this type of therapy with a trauma therapists).

Some people we may have to interact with...a therapist helped me with that ALOT, as to my mother.

I hope this helps. You have my support. xo
