Setting Boundaries: A Guide to Healthy Relationships
Setting boundaries is important in any type of relationship, but the boundaries you set will vary depending on the relationship. The boundaries you set with your boss or coworkers will be different than the boundaries you set with your friends or family. In this lesson, we will discuss boundary-setting in different types of relationships.
In these relationships, it's important to set clear boundaries around physical intimacy, communication, and personal space. For example, you may set boundaries around how often you see each other, how much time you spend together, and what types of physical affection you're comfortable with. You may also set boundaries around how you communicate with each other, such as not texting during work hours or not discussing certain topics.
In these relationships, boundaries may be focused on communication, personal space, and emotional support. You may set boundaries around how often you hang out, what activities you do together, and how much personal information you share. You may also set boundaries around emotional support, such as not wanting to be a constant sounding board for your friend's problems.
In professional relationships, boundaries may be focused on communication, work expectations, and personal space. You may set boundaries around when you're available to talk or meet with coworkers, how much work you're willing to take on, and what types of tasks you're comfortable with. You may also set boundaries around personal space, such as not wanting to be touched or hugged.
