Hyper-Independence: When Self-Sufficient Becomes Isolated
After a breakup, many of us swing to a defensive extreme: Hyper-Independence. This is the "I don't need anyone" shield that feels like power but often acts as a prison. In this episode, we talk to the woman who is finally feeling okay again and starting to go out with friends, but finds herself terrified of letting a new person in. We discuss the difference between healthy autonomy and fear-based isolation. We dive into the three levels of boundaries—Mental, Emotional, and Physical—specifically as they relate to meeting and dating someone new.
