Boundary Issues

Boundaries, Not Walls

Setting healthy boundaries is often the most challenging part of any relationship.  Many people view boundaries as impenetrable walls that you have to have up completely or not have at all.  In such cases, we either end up feeling separate or like we're being walked over.  With walls we often feel anxious and/or insecure.  Without walls or boundaries we often feel resentful and powerless.  

Healthy Boundaries

Healthy boundaries are fluid and ever changing depending on how we are feeling and who we are with.  We regularly adjust them so that can maximize our sense of connection while ensuring we stay safe or do not give up something important to us.  With healthy boundaries we feel connected, at peace, and in our power.

My Approach to Boundary Issues

I will help you identify the ways your boundaries are not effective, and give you techniques for identifying where you should set your boundaries and then how to communicate and enforce to them in loving and effective ways.
