Deep dives

Understanding Boundaries vs. Threats

A distinction is made between boundaries and threats, emphasizing that threats involve actions imposed on others, while boundaries focus on self-defined actions. For example, a threat may state, 'If you don’t do the dishes, I will be furious,' indicating a reactive emotional response. In contrast, a boundary would express, 'If you choose not to do the dishes, I will not be cooking dinner.' This clarity highlights that boundaries are about individual choices and responses rather than an attempt to control or influence others.
