What Are Boundaries? A coping skill. An internal alarm. An invisible line that marks the limits of
an area. The space between ourselves and
another person. Established set of limits over our
physical/emotional well-being which we expect others to respect.

What Are Boundaries? continued
Boundaries define where a person/thing ends and where it begins.
The space around us which enables us to be ourselves without restrictions.
An imaginary bubble around our bodies. An invisible line around our bodies that
when crossed, we may feel uncomfortable.

What Are Boundaries? continued
A personal property line. Everyone’s boundaries are different. A fence:
– It keeps the bad out and the good in. Boundaries help protect our:
– Feelings– Values

Two Types of Boundaries

And
Internal Boundaries

External Boundaries The invisible space or bubble around us that
protects our bodies and controls distance and touch.
External boundaries allow us to determine:– who, when, where and how a person can touch
us.– how close a person can stand to us.
Examples of external boundary violations are:– Standing too close, touching, eye contact, privacy
issues (not knocking before entering the bathroom, listening to telephone conversations).

very close to you?

Internal Boundaries Internal boundaries allow us to think
how we want to think and feel how we want to feel and act how we want to act.
They act as a filter to protect our thinking, feeling, and behavior.
Examples of internal boundary violations are:– Yelling, screaming, name calling,
controlling, demanding, lying, etc.

names?

Why Is It Important To Have Boundaries? They help us protect ourselves from physical
and emotional wounds. They help us take care of ourselves. They tell us when others are acting in a way
that make us feel uncomfortable. They help us respect others personal space.
– Touching other people without an invitation is a violation of their boundaries.
They can improve relationships.

How Do We Create Healthy Boundaries? Only you can create your own boundaries. No
one can do it for you. Listen to your gut feeling.
– It’s your internal alarm.
Honor and trust your feelings.– Remember, you have the right to protect yourself.
Act. Practice.

Examples of Healthy Boundaries
Walking away. Changing the subject. Confronting the situation directly. Telling the person how their behavior makes
you feel. Saying “NO” to food, gifts, and touch you do
not want. Self-respect.
– Not allowing someone to take advantage of your generosity.
