An affirmation from Dr. Bob

Many of us swing from saying yes to everything, to shutting everyone out. Healthy boundaries are quieter than either of those. They're simply taking good care of ourselves.

They make relationships easier, not harder.

“Today, I have boundaries. I used to have no boundaries, then I had only walls. Both are trauma responses. Today I can take care of myself without being harsh. Healthy boundaries are good for me, and everyone around me.”

I hope this has meaning for you. I send these out every morning in our healing group. Hit reply if you'd like to receive these daily and know more about the Inner Work Community.
