In this episode of Mind Pilot, Dr. Jana Price-Sharps and Dr. Mary Oganesyan explore the critical role of setting boundaries in relationships.

De-escalating Conflict: Using "I" statements and timed breaks to cool down heated arguments.
Toxic Communication: Addressing sarcasm and contempt to rebuild a safe relationship environment.
