Part Three: How To Follow Through With Boundaries
Setting boundaries and following through to ensure your family and friends respect them can take a lot of time and communication to work. It also calls for a lot of patience, understanding, and maturity to straighten things up. People we love and care about will step into our boundaries from time to time. But gently restoring them to the right place will help us set a positive tone and a safe space for communication. Without communication, we are likely to build resentment and anger, which can result in anger and relationship breakdown. Spending time with God and staying rooted in the word can help us communicate with others with self-control, gentleness, kindness, patience, and love to build healthy relationships.
Join today’s Therapy Thursday conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Lidia Martinez as we talk about setting boundaries, what the scripture says, and how to follow through after setting boundaries to get the people you love to respect them to build strong and healthy relationships.

Notable Quotes:
● When a seed of hurt and anger in a relationship is fed, it turns to hatred
● We cannot be led by our emotions, they are fleeting, and they come and go; we need to have a strong foundation in Christ.
● Forgiveness is not about the other person; it’s about you, opening and softening up your heart to have better relationships.
● Healing does not mean that the damage never existed; it means the damage no longer controls your life.
● You never know how strong you are until you forgive somebody who was never sorry and accepts an apology you will never receive
● Allowing hurt in your heart is expressing unforgiveness, so let it go.
