Hey ,

For those with avoidant attachment, boundaries aren’t usually missing.

They’re more like fortresses—designed to keep you safe, independent, and untouched.

And while those walls protected you once, they may now be keeping you from what you truly want: real closeness, trust, and ease in connection.

Here’s the shift:

Boundaries aren’t about keeping people out. They’re about letting the right people in.

🧭 Try This:

Journal Prompt:

What boundaries do I set that protect me… but also isolate me?

Practice:

Complete this sentence in your journal:

“I feel safe enough to stay when…”

Then explore how you could share that with someone close to you.

Boundaries can be acts of connection—when they come from clarity, not fear.

We’ll keep exploring this with you.

You’re doing deep and beautiful work. Keep going.
