Boundaries have become a bit of a buzzword. Everybody seems to be talking about them.
But what does having healthy boundaries even mean?
I believe boundaries are different for every client and need to be worked with individually for every client. It's often two steps forward, one step back when it comes to boundaries and that's okay! We all have different histories and experiences so what works for one person may not work for another.
Healthy boundaries are really about self-respect and also respect for other people. But if you don't really value yourself how can you have self-respect and healthy boundaries? Working with boundaries often means working on your self-esteem first and foremost. Otherwise, it's like putting the cart before the horse.
