Setting Boundaries - Part V
What Happens When You Start Setting Boundaries
Many of us start by setting firmer boundaries once we find out that our lives cannot go on like they used to.

We want to be who we really are. And with boundaries, we draw a line for what is okay for us and feels safe, and what we would rather keep at a distance.
This all sounds fine. From my own experience, I can tell you that setting boundaries is a wonderful medicine.
