Building Healthy Boundaries with Coaching and Therapy

Mental health, Success Story

Member: James*, male in his 20s

 

When James first started Meomind, he felt stuck in unhealthy cycles and relationships that were preventing him from living authentically and fully.

 

“I realized I needed help setting boundaries with certain people and focusing on my own growth and happiness,” he explained. “I just didn’t know where to start.”

 

That’s when James came across Meomind while searching online for therapy apps. He was paired with a Meomind coach and started browsing the robust therapy content around topics like toxic family, setting boundaries, effective communication strategies, and more.

 

James and his coach established a regular cadence for coaching calls and he completed reflective worksheets and listened to therapy sessions on the app in between sessions. Through this process of self-discovery and deep reflection, he decided that for his own well-being and personal growth, it was time to make some changes in his life. 

 

He recognized some relationships in his life had become unhealthy and had taken a toll on him emotionally. He decided that it was in his best interest to create some distance with a sibling to focus on his own personal growth and happiness.

 

James worked with his coach to complete the “setting boundaries” homework in the app and got clear on why this boundary was important to him. James then prepared to have the conversation with his sister and was able to clearly communicate his needs.

 

“Having the support to prepare gave me the courage and skills to have a tough talk,” he said. “It worked. I finally set a boundary and I feel free.”

 

Today, James feels he’s on a path toward becoming his best self thanks to the accountability, encouragement, and customized support Meomind provided.

 

“I have a weight off my chest and feel like I’m growing,” James shared. “Meomind helped me put distance with people holding me back so I can live more authentically.”

 

James’ story demonstrates the power of coaching combined with therapy content to help people overcome obstacles, set boundaries, improve relationships, and become who they envision. Like James found, with the right support, positive change is within anyone’s reach.
