Let's do a Boundaries Checkup!

Hello
When I work with my private clients, we go into great detail about boundaries and standards. Creating peace, happiness, safety, and healthy relationships begins by setting boundaries.
Boundaries and standards you set are for you, it is your own blueprint on how you want to live, be treated and allow others to interact/engage with you. It isn’t a rule book which you issue to any prospective friends, lovers or colleagues. They don’t need to know! BUT YOU DO. When you know and you are comfortable setting and implementing boundaries – they will just get it.
Boundaries result in simpler relationships, deeper honest trust
and way more respect.
I know boundaries sound difficult, even scary, and they can be, but without them, you will repeat the same unhealthy patterns and spend too much time feeling unworthy and unhappy!
Here are just a few common areas that we need to have healthy boundaries in place.
If you have more A and B answers, it might be time for a boundaries checkup. These are signs or having either porous, rigid, or no boundaries at all.
