What if a huge percentage of modern health symptoms — from hemorrhoids to heart attacks — trace back to one thing: not being able to say "no?"
Special biological programs relaying from the temporal lobes of your cerebral cortex are all about either:
Masculine territory — problems providing for and protecting what is so important to you that you'd give your life in devotion to it.
The feminine principle — problems feeling the container of devotion; feeling provided for and protected so that you can relax and flourish.
A boundary is the limit or edge of territory, and a boundary problem is an inability either to assert territory (masculine), or to feel the existence of secure territory (feminine).
So a boundary problem is, for the masculine, an inability to say (or assert) "no." For the feminine, it's an inability to feel the "no" — which makes it impossible to feel any "yes."
Not having good boundaries means biological conflicts that express as both physical symptoms (bronchi, larynx, coronary vessels, stomach/ducts, rectum lining, urinary tract) and mental/behaviour symptoms (depression, mania, compulsions, constellation patterns).
Poor boundaries are so widespread in western civilization right now that almost everyone has at least one temporal lobe conflict going on — and most people have two or more, in schizophrenic constellation. But every one of these temporal lobe conflicts is underpinned by a self-devaluation of not being able to clearly sense or state "no."
You're not fated for this. You can be different from the norm — and a lot healthier. But you need to have good boundaries:
Good masculine boundaries: practice judging and discerning — make your "no" reliable enough to become a law. Good feminine boundaries: practice feeling without judging — learn to sense contraction vs. expansion so you can trust the edge and relax into the yes.
