Why Men Struggle To Set Boundaries

Segment from the grounded man program. Find the course on my profile. It's rarely about not knowing what a boundary is. Most can tell you the theory. The problem is what happens in the moment you try to set one - the tightness in the chest, the guilt that shows up before the words even leave your mouth. In this teaching, I break down the real fears underneath poor boundaries: fear of conflict, people-pleasing, and guilt you can't quite explain. Once you can name what's actually stopping you, setting the boundary gets a lot less complicated. Understanding how the boundary feels for the other person is a whole different topic, as tone and delivery are most important. This is part of the work I teach inside The Grounded Man - more on my profile if this resonates. Please note that this content is educational and is not a substitute for one-to-one professional care.
