My therapist has got me working on boundaries, saying “no” and doing things that make me happy. I’m doing well practising this, but it makes me feel so so guilty. I feel desperate to apologise to friends I’ve turned down and worry that I’m actually missing out on things that would be good for me. How do I tell the difference between a healthy “no” and a compulsive “no” that I’m potentially hiding behind?!
