One of the hardest boundaries we will ever learn as people who are deeply empathic and care a lot about the wellbeing of others - is just how much we CAN’T actually force anyone to heal.
One of the hardest boundaries we will ever have to learn to set as people who have codependent patterns and attachments will be the boundaries around what IS our burden to carry in terms of our impact on others and what isn’t.
Learning to figure out where the line between what IS ours to worry about in terms of how our actions make others feel and how they impact others and what isn’t isn’t always easy.
Learning to let ourselves off the hook where we aren’t responsible and learning to take responsibility where we are is no easy task.
In our self help/spirituality worlds today, there is a lot of polarization in this.
Some teachers are telling us that NOTHING that anyone else thinks, feels or experiences has anything to do with us, while others are asking that we look deeply into our impact in a way that has us actually taking on MORE than is ours to take.
So how do we figure this out?
Where is the healing path of others and the feelings of others something we DO have power over, and where do we need to learn that we aren’t in control?
Where do we take responsibility and where do we open to the idea that what’s happening isn’t actually about us?
That’s what we’re going to explore today.
