Part three of our assertiveness series, and we're breaking down the Goldilocks of it all. Walk through a scenario with me about difficult parents and boundaries that protect your HSP nervous system the way no one protected you growing up. When your inner child looks up thinking 'you just did what Dad never learned,' that's the bliss I didn't know this work would bring. Passivity is too little, aggression too much, passive-aggressive somehow both at once. No wonder we can't tell when we're being honest or dysfunctional.
