What Are Boundaries
“A boundary is a limit or space between you and the other person; a clear place where you begin and the other person ends . . . The purpose of setting a healthy boundary is, of course, to protect and take good care of you” (n.d.).-- IPFW/Parkview Student Assistance Program
Basically it establishes what and up to what extent you're willing to accept from other people, and what other people can expect from you.
Why is it important?
- Boundaries are a crucial component of self-care
- They are essential for maintaining healthy relationships with others.
- A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
