Found a great post on relationship boundaries. I really like the circle exercise. Where do you find yourself in your current relationship or where do you tend to go when you are in a relationship? Do you have boundaries? Where are they? Have you talked about them? The post offers some good tips on boundary setting.
Try to identify where your struggles with boundaries originate and keep track of what triggers your self-sabotaging behavior. Work aggressively at overcoming these personal hurdles to promote a more solid and confident sense of self.
Some Sisters have an easier time with boundaries, though each one can take the interaction types to the extreme to break these boundaries. Gina can become so enmeshed she doesn’t know where she ends and her partner begins. Katie can become so independent she can’t let anyone in. Tina can take charge so much she forgets to consider others. Stacey can become so enthralled by the attention she can forget about her social limits.
Being in the Groove means understanding your boundaries and maintaining them, because we all know good fences make good neighbors.
