How To Stop Being Enmeshed With Your Ex-PartnerPart 2

Welcome to Part 2 of our 4 Part Series on ‘How To Stop Being Enmeshed With Your Ex-Partner’

In Part 1 of our Series we gave the example of Paul and Danielle who were divorced but were still enmeshed with each others in many ways and areas of their life.

We then introduced four suggestions of how to cut ties with one’s ex-partner and went into more detail about suggestion #1 about Having a “Letting Go Ceremony”

Now for Part 2 let’s discuss “Creating Boundaries.”

2) Create Boundaries:

Boundaries don’t have to be complicated – sometimes it is as simple as making a commitment to have boundaries with your ex.

My favorite quote about commitment came from the side of my Starbucks Coffee Cup one day from the Starbucks “The Way I See It” Series #76 by a Starbucks Customers named Anne Morris. It goes as follows:

“The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating—in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”

So if you commit to having boundaries - emotional, physical, intellectual and energetic boundaries with your ex-partner you will be surprised as to how much easier it will be to maintain and hold fast your stand.

In Part 3 we discuss Suggestion #3 about “Seeking Support Elsewhere”
