Nurturing peer relationships where it is okay to set boundaries can foster safer relationships. People know where they stand. This can create some sense of transparency and safety. Setting boundaries also demonstrates self-care and allows greater capacity for empathy with others. • Boundaries help us to be present with our whole self . If you do not set boundaries, you could be overextending yourself. You might be at risk for burnout. Boundaries allow us to have more sustainable and mutual relationships that mean you can connect with more people over a longer period of time. • Boundaries allow growth . Boundary setting communicates to others what is important to you and what you need to stay in a mutual relationship. It models setting healthy limits without rejection. It also makes others aware of the impact of their behavior. Healthy boundaries remind us of the respect we deserve, as well as the respect we must give others.
