Setting healthy boundaries is essential for maintaining strong relationships and protecting your mental health.
In her latest feature in Professor’s House, Brooke Sprowl, founder of My LA Therapy, sheds light on some surprising misconceptions about boundaries that often sabotage both our personal relationships and well-being.
These misunderstandings can make it difficult to establish the emotional safety we all need.
The Three Misconceptions About Boundaries
In this insightful article, Brooke Sprowl breaks down three common myths surrounding boundaries:
- Boundaries are about controlling others – Many people believe that setting boundaries is about telling others what to do. However, Brooke clarifies that boundaries are not about control but rather about defining what is acceptable for you personally.
- Setting boundaries is selfish – Brooke discusses how this misconception leads to feelings of guilt, but setting healthy boundaries is actually a form of self-care and contributes to more authentic and balanced relationships.
- Boundaries cause disconnection – Surprisingly, many fear that setting boundaries will drive others away. Brooke emphasizes that boundaries help create deeper connections by fostering respect and understanding in relationships.
Transitioning from these myths, Brooke stresses that learning how to set clear, compassionate boundaries can empower individuals to foster better relationships while enhancing their emotional and mental well-being.
