Why Boundaries Feel Impossible When You're Neurodivergent

If you're neurodivergent, setting boundaries probably feels genuinely impossible. Not just hard - actually impossible.

In this episode, I break down the real reasons why:

  • How your nervous system responds to boundary-setting as a threat

  • The conditioning that convinced you your needs don't matter

  • Why neurotypical boundary advice never worked for you

This isn't about willpower or being "strong enough." It's about understanding what's actually happening in your brain and nervous system.

I'm a registered mental health nurse, interpersonal psychotherapist, and therapeutic coach. I'm also ADHD and autistic (diagnosed at 47 and 50), so I get it both professionally and personally.
