An Inside Look At ALL Things Boundaries w/ Mikel Gojcaj

Boundaries. It's a hot topic right now and a buzz word for self-help and "good" mental health. But what does it really take to have "healthy" boundaries in your life? Have you ever wondered how your therapist identifies your needs from the one or two sentences you gave them about that pair of shoes your mom didn't let you buy when you were ten? Well I am joined by one of my close friends and professional colleague Mikel Gojcaj (AKA The KING of Boundaries). He has been helping clients create strong, sustainable and healthy boundaries for years and is here to share his wisdom and magical framework on boundaries with you all. I am truly excited and honored to share this guest with you as he is someone I look up to professionally and am very close with.Guest:Mikel Gojcaj: Mikel Gojcaj is a psychotherapist and member of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute and the American Psychoanalytic Association. In his profession, Mikel utilizes a psychodynamic approach that focuses on undering the root causes of an individual's emotional suffering through self-reflection and collaborative exploration by also using the relationship between therapist and patient as a window into problematic relationship patterns in a patient's life. Through this hard work, people can achieve meaningful change that can help enable them to live their lives with a sense of bravery, strength, love and acceptance that they weren't consciously aware of before. While he has other interests such as playing acoustic guitar & drawing, he also hopes to become a member of the Detroit Film Critics Society because he also thoroughly enjoys watching and judging acclaimed films that are in the running for the Academy Awards every year since he was in high school.Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/mikel-gojcaj-utica-mi/342702?preview=1&return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmember.psychologytoday.com%2Fus%2Fhome&_ga=2.239384643.1350951627.1676902145-627892357.1624477896Work w/ me (Annamarie):Head to my website to explore freebies, resources, and different ways to work with me including scheduling an Anxiety Reading or Anxiety Coaching.annamariegreen.com

Om Podcasten

Hiya~ Welcome to your new emotional safe space! I am Annamarie Green, an intuitive, soul led optimist using my experience as a clinical therapist and coach to make the world a more vibrant and authentic place. WELCOME, and I am so glad you're here. The Optimist Chronicles is a heart led podcast with the mission of helping you connect to your inner cheerleader - you know that positive responding "dream big/anything is possible?" voice you used to have as a kid? You know when you used to tell people you wanted to be a spaghetti eating space teacher with a farm. Well I am here to tell you from professional and personal experience that your inside optimist is still there and can't wait to resurface. I have been called an emotional translator and therapy mom in my work - all things I aim to embody and share on this podcast! I hope this series provides you with the nurturing and deep environment that you need to challenge your current emotional/behavioral patterns. During these episodes, we will talk about anything and everything. We'll emotionally expand, reconnect with, and empower our inner optimists. So don't be afraid to feel your feelings! They make you a more colorful and alive individual - and in this community, we are all cheering for you (the real you underneath all the gunk you've been carrying). So sit tight (or put on your walking sneakers) grab your headphones and prepare to laugh, cry, and rediscover yourself.
