Healing Old Wounds: How Boundaries Helped Me Reconnect With Someone I Love | Episode 329
Old family dynamics can feel impossible to change, especially when you’ve spent a lifetime carrying wounds that never had the chance to heal. For years, my relationship with someone I love was distant, tense, and full of unspoken history. I never imagined that could shift… until it did.
This week on the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing how boundaries, emotional safety, and recovery helped me reconnect with my brother in a way I genuinely didn’t think was possible. I talk about the internal transformation that made this reconnection happen and why healing often starts inside of us long before it becomes visible in our relationships.
The key points I go over in this episode include:
- How people-pleasing shaped our relationship
- Why internal safety allowed me to show up differently
- The impact of setting boundaries without guilt
- How making amends opened the door to connection
- What healing old wounds can look like as an adult
You don’t need someone else to change in order for a relationship to transform. When you create safety within yourself, everything shifts. Healing becomes possible, honesty becomes easier, and old wounds finally have the space to mend.
Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive practical tools for living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
