What do boundaries look like in a healthy relationship? (and how to set them) 💛
In a healthy relationship, each person has boundaries. This means each person feels comfortable being honest, setting limits and sharing preference. Boundaries are healthy in all relationships, whether with friends, family, colleagues, or a romantic partner.
How to set & maintain boundaries:
➡️ Identify: Identify what your boundaries are and why they are important to you.
➡️ Communicate: Once you know what your boundaries are, communicate them to those around you in a way that is respectful and confident.
➡️ Be consistent: Not everyone will respect your boundaries all the time. If this happens, restate your needs calmly and clearly.
➡️ Know the consequences: If your boundaries are crossed again, it’s important to know how you will respond and what the consequences are.
These tips apply to setting boundaries in a healthy relationship, not an abusive one. If you are worried your relationship is abusive, seek help on the ‘Get Help’ section of our website: lmkletmeknow.org/get-help/
