## Resource

In this episode, Allie and Alison talk about a tough one: Boundaries. For those of us who have experienced trauma, creating boundaries can be difficult - even in the healthiest of relationships. It's even harder to keep ourselves protected in harmful or high-demand relationships. Today the girls will talk about their experiences setting boundaries with narcissists, and how you can do it too. With these examples, tips, and the encouragement that you CAN do this - we hope you are motivated to instill some supportive boundaries in your life. *** In this episode, Allie refers to a helpful quote/mantra. The full quote is: "If one of us has to be upset, it doesn't have to be me." You can find this quote and other helpful information in Danu Morrigan's excellent book: You're Not Crazy, it's Your Mother.
