boundaries

• Throughout the recovery process, we discover that
our first responsibility is always ourselves.

• Boundaries help us clarify where our


responsibilities end and where other people’s
begin.

• By establishing healthy boundaries, we slowly learn


to take care of our issues and recognize that
others have the same privilege.

WHY ARE BOUNDARIES IMPORTANT?

to take advantage of you and you begin to find
your voice and learn how to use it.

your thoughts and feelings
• HEALTHY BOUNDARY = HEALTHY
RELATIONSHIPS
HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

• Honoring your personal values and beliefs even if
others may not agree with them
• Respecting others
• Taking responsibility for all that YOU do or say
• Taking full ownership and responsibility in defining
yourself
STEPS TO CREATING HEALTHY
BOUNDARIES
SET LIMITS
• Set limits. Letting the other person know how far
they can go. Stating that you want to be spoken to
respectfully and do not want to be put down or
screamed at.
BE ASSERTIVE
• If you feel that someone is ignoring the set
boundaries, you must speak up.
• Being assertive is polite yet firm about your
stance. Be clear about what isn’t working for
you and keep communication open.
RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE’S
BOUNDARIES
• Do not forget that you’re not the only one in a
relationship. The other person’s boundaries are just
as important as yours, even if they are different than
yours.
