P.S. Younger Self
How to Stop Overthinking Your Boundaries
You finally set the boundary. But instead of feeling peace, you feel anxious. Guilty. Exhausted. Overthinking every interaction and second-guessing your decision.
In this episode, host Chris Oh shares a personal story and walk you through what actually happens emotionally after setting boundaries, the part few people talk about.
You’ll learn:
- Why your nervous system still feels activated even after doing "the right thing"
- How guilt, anxiety, and people-pleasing tendencies get activated post-boundary
- Why boundary-setting often leads to emotional labor long after the conversation is over
- How to stop overthinking and start feeling confident in your standards
- My personal 4-step emotional reset framework to manage boundary anxiety
If you’ve ever struggled with:
- Fear of being "too much" or "too selfish"
- Worrying how others will react to your boundaries
- Feeling emotionally exhausted trying to manage others' feelings
...this episode will give you the language, insight, and tools to hold your boundaries with confidence and emotional peace.
