Boundaries are essential for mental health…

Some thoughts on boundaries from a therapist:

  • You are allowed to say no and still be a kind person.
  • How someone reacts to your boundary speaks loudly.
  • Boundaries are essential for your mental health.
  • You shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for setting a boundary.
  • Boundaries may be fluid and need regular editing.
  • You are within your own rights to set a boundary.
  • Boundaries should be respected.
  • You do not need to over explain your boundary.
  • Those who react negatively are often the reason why the boundary was needed.

Well, I can tell you I didn’t learn a thing about boundaries growing up. My parents taught me some useful skills, but emotional intelligence and healthy relationship skills were not among them. I had to seek out such valuable skills via therapy and relationship workshops. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
