Should you explain or not explain your boundary? Should you explain or not explain the reason for the decision you made? The answer is: It depends. You need to figure out what is best for you in the specific situation with that person. There are times you should explain yourself and times you should not. To deal with dysfunctional people, you need to know principles to apply to choose the right option.

Spiritual bypassing harms the recipient by minimizing and shaming their pain rather than empathizing and supporting them. Many of these spiritual bypassing examples are also common Bible pat answers heard from church people when you share life problems. You have probably been the recipient of this harmful practice more than you realize, as it happens frequently. Learn to identify what this is so you will not do it and to recognize when it is being done to you. #dysfunctionalrelationship #spiritualbypassing #toxicrelationship

Doing so will enable you to predict how people will respond to your weak or strong boundaries by what people typically do in similar situations. It isn't hard to predict because we are all basically the same when we are acting according to our human nature. Find out what aspects of human nature predict responses to boundaries. #humannaturepsychology #Christianboundaries #Christianboundarysetting

If you struggle with Christian codependency, you are likely a highly loyal person to everyone in your life, but have you ever thought about keeping promises to yourself? Self-care is neglected by codependents. You must get to where you know you are equally and often more important than others because you are the one who must make sure you are functioning well. Making and keeping promises to yourself is a part of codependent recovery. #dysfunctionalrelationship #christiancodependency #selfcare #selfimprovement
