Boundaries: Connection & Protection
| Receiving | Giving | |
|---|---|---|
| Healthy Boundaries = Connection + Protection | Connect with a sense of self, take in love | Share feelings, etc while allowing others to be distinct and seperate from us |
| Porous Boundaries = Connection, no protection. | Over-receiving, absorb and allow what is not ours | Over-giving, pleasing, over-responsible, advicing, fixing |
| Rigid Boundaries = Protection, no connection | Under-receibing, block input & love from others | Under-giving, we retrain ourselves from giving to others |
