Boundary Setting is the practice of establishing clear limits in relationships and situations to protect your emotional well-being. This dynamic develops as a way to maintain safety and respect, often rooted in attachment theory. It exists to ensure that you are not overburdened or taken advantage of, allowing for healthier interactions. While it may seem like a defensive mechanism, boundary setting is actually a proactive strategy for maintaining mental health and fostering mutual respect.
