Fundamentals for Better Relationships with Self and Others
1.
Time Boundaries
“I really want to spend more time with you, but I have some work to complete hence can only stay for an hour.”
2.
Physical Boundaries
“I understand you like to express yourself through physical gestures, however, I am not really a hug person so if you can keep that in mind it would be great”.
3.
Conversational Boundaries
“I understand you wish to know about my past, but can we take it slow because I am not yet in a space to talk about it.”.
4. Intellectual Boundaries: “I understand you have strong views about a few things, however, I would like if you could hear out my views and regard them equally important.”
5.
Relationship Boundaries
“There might be times that you may feel hurt by me, I would expect you to tell me instead of passively reacting, so that I am aware of your feelings and we can resolve it.”
6.
Emotional Boundaries
“I know you don’t want me to feel jealous but I cannot help with that right now. It will take some time for me to deal with it and I expect patience and transparency from you which can make it easier for me.”
Counselling for relationships can help you learn communicating about your boundaries in a polite and assertive manner, so that your emotional boundaries are maintained and others' are also not violated..
