Boundaries as a Loving Act

Pia Scaglione, Psy.D.
This shot was taken during a roadtrip with a couple of friends in the Dolomites. This pretty much sums up the lovely adventures we had over there – just us (and some beers) in the mountains for one week. Although it is just a snapshot, it captures a true, precious moment of togetherness and friendship.

Maintaining healthy boundaries is a loving act for us as individuals, and for our relationships.

Boundary setting can feel like a rejection in a relationship if they were previously absent or fluid, or previous attempts at boundary setting have not been respected.

However, the purpose of healthy boundaries is to protect not only ourselves but the quality of our relationships.

Relationships that may be at risk of estrangement can often be preserved when thoughtful boundaries are established and maintained.

While setting boundaries may be difficult at first, once established they can often be experienced as a loving act, for all the parties in the relationship.
