Today on the Healing Mothers' Club, we get real about what it takes to actually create and uphold boundaries with your children's toxic grandparents. If your children's grandparents fall somewhere on the emotional immaturity spectrum, chances are they have displayed toxic behaviours -- and the holidays can be the perfect storm for unhinged emotionally immature behaviour.

Most blogs and Instagram reels will suggest you clearly communicate your boundary. But unfortunately, when dealing with emotionally immature people, we just can't expect our demand for respect will be met.

In this episode, we cover :

• The fact that setting and upholding boundaries is probably still something that is very new. For most adult children of emotionally immature parents, setting and upholding boundaries is something they start contemplating when having children.
• How simply sticking with boundary scripts can set you up for a full blown trauma response (we aim for a trauma recall here, very different)
• How EMDR-inspired coaching cultivates the inner safety needed to effectively enforce boundaries so you can prove to yourself that YOU are the safe adult in your life.
