Action Boundaries
Friday Feb 23, 2024
Friday Feb 23, 2024
One of the reasons people say that they cannot set boundaries is that the other person won't respect them. They ignore them, challenge them, or violate them. They use manipulative tactics to get you to back down. Action boundaries don't depend on the other person's response. It is entirely up to you to decide what you will and won't do. They don't require anyone's permission or approval. You are the only one who matters. Watch this video to learn how to use action boundaries.
