GuideTopic: Boundaries
A guide to setting boundaries without guilt
Setting boundaries isn't selfish: it's how we teach others to treat us with care.

A boundary defines what you are willing to accept and what you are not. You don't set it to punish anyone — you set it to protect yourself.
One step at a time
- Notice which situation leaves you drained or resentful.
- Name what you need instead of what the other person does wrong.
- Communicate it clearly and in the first person.
- Hold the boundary, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.
