#133 – Speaking to Be Heard (Part 2 of a Deeper Dive Into the Talking Boundary)

May 12, 2021 by

If you haven’t heard last week’s episode yet, I recommend listening to that one too if you’re interested in this exploration of the talking boundary. In that episode, I covered what the talking boundary is, and what talking boundary violations look like. This time, I’ll move into what it looks like when you have a healthy, effective talking boundary. I’ll also share some questions to ask yourself to help ensure your talking boundary is in great shape.

Biggest Takeaways From Episode #133:

  • The first way to use a healthy talking boundary is to say what you would like or what you want, instead of saying what the other person did that you didn’t like.
  • Another important way to use your talking boundary in a healthy way is to lead with agreement. Mastering your listening boundary will also help you develop a strong, healthy talking boundary.
  • Here are some questions to ask yourself when you’re using the talking boundary: 
    • Is the other person in a position to really hear me and take in what I’m saying?
    • What response do I expect to get from this person?
    • Do I need to speak my truth regardless of the response?
    • Can I express what I want to say in a way that’s completely about me?
    • Would it be better if I waited for 24 hours to say what I want to say?
