Boundary setting statements…

5 things to say when your boundaries are challenged:

1. I mentioned this as a solution because I want to maintain the relationship.

2. Some things I allowed in the past no longer work for me. 

3. It’s okay if you don’t like what I’m saying, and I need you to respect it.

4. We think differently about this, and I won’t argue about what feels healthy for me.

5. This isn’t negotiable.

I don’t know about you, but I have found it nearly impossible to achieve healthy boundaries with certain relationships. My savvy life coach and my favourite therapist both say that it is emotionally sound to back away from connections that don’t feel mutually beneficial, even with family. It sucks, but some relationships cone with irreconcilable differences that may compromise our mental health. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
