Rest is a boundary.
Silence can be a boundary.
Choosing yourself can be a boundary.

You’re allowed to protect what keeps you well.

One boundary reminder for this week:

You don’t need a dramatic reason to set a limit.
You don’t need to over-explain.
And you don’t need everyone to understand.

Simple, respectful boundaries are enough.

If you want help practicing boundaries without guilt or fear, our therapists are here to support you.

A closed door might lead you to where you’re meant to be… 🚪✨

Walls are often created with good intentions …..to stay safe, avoid pain, or prevent further hurt.
But over time, walls can also lead to isolation, disconnection, and emotional distance.

Healthy boundaries are different. They protect your well-being without shutting people out. They offer clarity, reduce resentment, and allow healthy relationships to remain possible.

Self-love isn’t about isolation …..it’s about protection with connection.

💛 If you’re learning how to lower walls and set healthy boundaries, SHINE Counseling is here to support you.

Let’s clarify something important.

A healthy boundary is not punishment.
It’s not control.
And it’s not a threat.

A boundary is a clear, respectful limit that protects your time, energy, and emotional wellbeing while still allowing connection.

If boundaries feel uncomfortable, that doesn’t mean you’re doing them wrong. It often means you’re learning something new.

🔖 Save this for later.

Boundaries aren’t about pushing people away….they’re about protecting your peace.

They clarify what you can give, what you need, and what helps you stay well.

I made this last year after saying goodbye to Barkley. I was distraught, feeling unmoored and uncertain about what the future would hold. The future brought me Pixel, and I’m so grateful for her every day. What’s lost cannot be replaced, but good things will continue to find you. Keep looking. Keep hoping.
