Boundary Culture: What the Dutch Teach Us About Recalibration, Containment, and Respect

Send us a text

After Monday’s episode on Nancy McWilliams and perimenopause, I got a flood of messages—mostly asking the same thing: What does actual support look like?

This episode answers that. But not with affirmations or coping strategies. With boundaries.

We break down how modern therapy fails at structural support, how clinicians often confuse “holding space” with enabling avoidance, and why Dutch culture offers a real blueprint for field clarity, relational integrity, and post-therapy recalibration.

We’ll cover:

• Why American therapists often avoid confrontation and fail to deliver intervention
• How Dutch communication models make boundaries normal, not dramatic
• The 7 measurable dimensions of PrecisionCycle that track psychological movement
• Why your people-pleasing is actually narcissistic
• What real support during perimenopause actually looks like

If you’ve ever felt guilty for setting boundaries… if you’ve outgrown your environment but still feel the pull to over-explain yourself… this episode is for you. elevate.epo
