Definition of Boundaries

  • Boundaries in relationships are like a house: you choose who enters and how far they can go.
  • Just like a house has doors and windows, you decide who to let into your personal space (physically and emotionally).

    • Types of Boundaries

    • Physical Boundaries: Involves personal space, touch, and eye contact.
    • Interpersonal Boundaries: Defines relationship expectations, such as time alone or together.
    • Emotional & Cognitive Boundaries: You are entitled to your own feelings and thoughts, without needing validation from others.
    • Environmental Boundaries: Pertains to personal belongings and who has access to them.

      Trust and Boundaries

      • Trust develops gradually, and boundaries adjust accordingly, whether with your physical space, emotions, or belongings.
      • The more trust you have in someone, the more you're likely to share deeper aspects of yourself.
