Therapy for Boundary Setting

Posted on by junecao

All healthy relationships have boundaries. Setting boundary could be as small as saying “No” to a birthday party invitation; could be as big as your insistence on being respected for your own decisions. When you make it clear to your partner about who you are, what you want, your beliefs, your limits Cancel timeshare geek, and your partner respects them, both partners could feel comfortable and develop positive self-esteem in a relationship.

However, Some people may feel guilty when they set boundaries because it is “selfish” to prioritize their own needs over someone else’s needs. Some other people may feel they are rejecting others in their moment of need because they interpret boundaries as disconnecting, disrespectful, and unloving.

Setting and establishing healthy boundaries is a skill. It is not easy and takes time to grasp the skill. Some people may have difficulty communicating their thoughts and feelings, and others may find it is too much to follow through what they say. Seek therapy from Dr. June to understand your personal reasons to set boundaries, know your limits, and set clear and healthy boundaries.
