Healthy boundaries are essential for emotional well-being and for increasing psychological safety. They are vital to building relationships rooted in respect and mutual care, especially within diverse cultural contexts and navigating differences in privilege. Yet setting and maintaining boundaries is not always easy; it’s a daily practice. Past experiences of relational trauma, abuse, or neglect can impact our ability to recognize and honour our boundaries. That’s why boundary work is a vital and ongoing part of trauma recovery.
This tag brings together articles that explore what it means to develop healthier boundaries as a continuous practice. You’ll find insights on recognizing boundary violations, communicating clearly, and working with inner parts that may feel fear, guilt, or resistance around setting limits. Whether you’re just beginning to explore boundaries or deepening your existing practice, these posts offer tools, reflections, and encouragement for creating boundaries that feel safe, empowering, and authentic to you.
