Understanding
Boundary violations.
When a clearly expressed limit is repeatedly not respected.
What it can mean
Boundaries help communicate what feels okay to you. When a limit is repeatedly crossed, it can be worth exploring what you need and who can support you.
Notice the pattern
You might recognize this when…
You may recognize some of these patterns in your own experience.
- ✳You have to repeat the same limit many times
- ✳Your need for space is treated as a problem
- ✳You feel pressured to explain your no
Recognizing a pattern doesn’t automatically tell you why someone behaves this way. Context matters.
A question to sit with
“Which boundary matters most to you right now?”
Does this feel familiar?
You don’t have to figure everything out by yourself.
