Boundaries and Assertiveness

Do you struggle to say no and find yourself making excuses to get out of things you don't want to do? Do you tend to over-give or people-please in an effort to keep the peace or be liked? Are you overworking yourself and failing to create a proper work-life balance?

Healthy boundaries help you protect your emotional and mental space. They allow you to express your needs and feelings while respecting others. Without clear boundaries, individuals can experience feelings of overwhelm, resentment, and burnout. In therapy, we work together to identify areas where boundaries may be lacking and develop strategies for establishing them effectively. This process empowers you to advocate for yourself, ensuring that your needs are acknowledged and respected.

I always tell clients that boundaries are not a wall; instead, view them as a gate that others must acknowledge to gain closer access to you. Additionally, they are a great form of self-love and self-respect!

If you are struggling to set healthy boundaries or to assert yourself, do not hesitate to reach out to me.
