Healthy Boundaries

What are healthy boundaries and how do they help?

Healthy boundaries are limits and parameters you put in place to help keep the peace and promote the harmony you long for, especially in some of your more trying relationships.

Boundaries allow all parties to take care of themselves and to BE themselves without pressure to accept behaviors or situations that are personally intolerable or that don’t meet their needs.

Healthy boundaries can be the relationship life preservers that keep you safe in a flood of upset, drama, or undue influence.

Establishing healthy boundaries isn’t so easy.

Setting respectful, comfortable boundaries is a great way to help you maintain personal values, respect, and emotional and physical safety…

But this takes courage and awareness.

Sometimes, we have to take inventory of the people with whom we surround ourselves. If some of our current relationships are not making us happy, we owe it to ourselves to decide if those relationships can be improved by setting personal boundaries.

I’ve seen it done, and I can help.

Through a process of looking at your personal values, likes and dislikes, the way you approach the world, and what you want in your life, I can help you look at each relationship in your life and create healthy boundaries within each of those relationships.

By examining some of your most important relationships, we can assess what is working in those relationships and what is not.

Are you giving more than you are getting?

Does it seem as if you give, give, give, until you’re exhausted and often don’t even get a thank you?

What feelings come up for you as you think about the daily interaction you have in these relationships?

If you are often feeling dumped on or taken advantage of, I can help you figure out what type of boundaries would help most and with whom.

Boundary setting is often just the act of communicating your feelings to someone and letting them know how you would like to be treated and what you will do if you are not treated in that manner.

Healthy boundaries are not about being demanding or selfish; they are about being true to yourself and being treated with the respect you deserve.

Get on the road to a more fulfilled, happier life.

Setting healthy boundaries can help you create the life you’ve always wanted.

You deserve to relate to others while maintaining values that are important to you… to relate confidently and connect without conflict.
