Boundaries

Boundaries are guiding principles that we set for ourselves to help us establish and create emotional and physical safety.

 

The Importance of Boundaries

  • Boundaries help you be yourself by creating a healthy separateness with others. In doing so, people can understand where they end, and you begin.

  • Boundaries define who you are.

  • Boundaries are a form of self-care. By acknowledging and honoring your needs and limits, you take care of your energy and create safety for yourself.

  • Boundaries are not the same for everyone, so it is essential to think about and define clear expectations for yourself to help others understand how to interact with you.
