Definition of Boundaries

• Boundaries in relationships are like a house: you choose who enters and how far they can go.
• Just like a house has doors and windows, you decide who to let into your personal space (physically and emotionally).

Types of Boundaries

• Physical Boundaries: Involves personal space, touch, and eye contact.
• Interpersonal Boundaries: Defines relationship expectations, such as time alone or together.
• Emotional & Cognitive Boundaries: You are entitled to your own feelings and thoughts, without needing validation from others.
• Environmental Boundaries: Pertains to personal belongings and who has access to them.

Trust and Boundaries

• Trust develops gradually, and boundaries adjust accordingly, whether with your physical space, emotions, or belongings.
• The more trust you have in someone, the more you're likely to share deeper aspects of yourself.
