Great article, Claire. Speaking of 'Unspoken Rules' and dysfunctional / narcissistic family systems: I did a video on this very thing a year or two ago on my YouTube channel - Link to video here, in case you (or anyone here) wants to check it out. https://youtu.be/IfpqW3328HA
That would be great! I forgot I linked it to you here and not via a direct message so ignore the direct message I just sent asking if you got the link.
In all my years of therapy, I have never had anyone explain the difference between boundaries and rules like this. I have also never had anyone talk about the connection between being able to set boundaries and our values, and what happens when our own values are unclear or get fuzzy. This is exactly what I needed and I am so grateful, Claire, for this article. I will be re-reading this several times. Thank you.
