  • Healthy Boundaries in CPTSD Relationships: Create Safety While Staying Open
    Feb 13 2026
    In this episode, we dive deep into the complex world of boundary-setting for people with CPTSD, especially in romantic relationships. Drawing from personal experience, clinical research, and real-world examples, we explore why traditional boundary advice often fails trauma survivors and introduce a trauma-informed approach to maintaining healthy limits while nurturing genuine connection. Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing or find yourself completely walled off, this episode offers practical tools for finding that crucial balance.

    What You'll Learn:

    • How to recognize when you're abandoning your own needs in relationships and what to do about it
    • Practical techniques for communicating boundaries without triggering abandonment fears
    • Ways to distinguish between protective walls and healthy boundaries in relationships
    • Strategies for maintaining connection while setting necessary limits
    • Tools for handling the physical and emotional responses that arise when setting boundaries

    Key Insights

    • Boundary issues in CPTSD aren't personal failings - they're adaptive responses to trauma
    • The "boundary paradox": why we most need boundaries where it feels scariest to set them
    • Our nervous system's response to boundaries can be rewired with consistent practice
    • Healthy boundaries actually strengthen relationships rather than threatening them
    • Setting boundaries is a skill that can be learned, even with a trauma history
