How do you create healthy boundaries? Certain people trigger me & it’s becoming more often. Does anyone else go through this?

You certainly aren't alone in this. And there isn't any one answer for anyone or for every situation.

One step that has helped me is to step back and look at the whole picture.

What do others want from me in a given situation? What am I willing to lovingly give? What am I not, and why? When i take even a minute to explore those questions i feel more secure in my thoughts and feelings. And it also helps prepare me to have a conversation about it if it's necessary to explain or defend my boundary.

Setting boundaries is very hard. I wish I had an answer but still struggling with this myself.

Yes I’m with you on this.

The only people who will be put off or even offended by your boundaries, should you need them, are those who are not used to you having them, let alone respecting them. If this is the case then you need those boundaries now more than ever.

Not what you're looking for?
