We have so many relationship experts who urge us not to take crumbs from romantic partners, friends, and family members.
But when will they also teach us about the ways we are conditioned to gratefully accept crumbs from governments, institutions, employers? [1]
What good is knowing that I am worthy of boundaries and safety in my relationships with other people if I believe myself to be unworthy of those same boundaries in the face of my government, my workplace, my community? [2]
If we’re taught to believe that the limit to our boundaries is institutional power - we won’t fight injustices that put us outside our comfort zone. [3]
We won’t learn how to strategically question and challenge governance designed to prioritize our profitability over our humanity and the precious nature of our human life. [4]
Boundary Work is not just individual. It’s not just interpersonal. It’s institutional too. It’s structural.
We can’t do the deep work around boundaries without understanding our relationship to power - without questioning our relationship to the institution.
