We often think boundaries are about pushing people away or teaching them a lesson.
But most of the time, they’re really about saying: “I want to stay connected to you, but in a way that honors me, too.”
And sometimes, that connection does mean space. Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do, for ourselves and others, is to step back, take a breath, or choose not to engage at all.
Boundaries aren’t meant to be cold, selfish or controlling. They’re not always about keeping people in or out. They’re about creating enough clarity, safety, and self-respect to decide what’s healthiest in the moment.
At The Counseling Co, we help women untangle what boundaries actually are and how to set them in a way that supports real connection, whether that means staying close or choosing distance 🤍
You don’t have to choose between honoring yourself and honoring your relationships.
You just need support learning how to do both.
