Healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, communication, and a willingness to recognize each person’s needs. One of the most important parts of maintaining those relationships is learning how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries. Boundaries help define what feels comfortable, what does not, and how we want to be treated by the people around us.
For many people, setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable. You may worry about disappointing someone, creating conflict, or being perceived as selfish. However, boundaries are not about controlling other people or pushing them away. They are about protecting your mental health while creating relationships that allow everyone to communicate their needs openly and respectfully.
