Boundaries

We Need Boundaries:
 

• To protect ourselves and our lives

• To choose how we use our time and energy

• To allow us to interact and contribute healthily

 

When Setting Boundaries:

• Focus on what works for you - don't make others wrong

• Make the person right, address the behaviour

• Speak calmly and assertively

 

Four Step Boundary Enforcement Model
 

• Inform them of what does not work for you

• Request them to change their behaviour

• State the consequences of continuing this behaviour

• Carry out the consequences
