Understanding Boundaries: A Path to Healthier Relationships
Boundaries help us establish our identity and protect our physical, emotional, and mental health. They allow us to take responsibility for our own lives while recognizing the limits of our control over others. Healthy boundaries contribute to self-respect, self-care, and positive interactions with others.
Setting Healthy Boundaries
Not everyone will like your boundaries, and that’s okay; you won’t always like the boundaries that others set either. Either way, boundaries are important because they show others how we want to be treated and what is and isn’t acceptable when interacting with us.
