INSIGHT

Boundaries Are Multi-Dimensional

  • Boundaries exist in multiple domains: physical, external, psychological, and containing.
  • Healthy boundaries sit on a rigid–porous spectrum and vary by person, context, and history.
ANECDOTE

Catcalling Example Shows Context

  • Juliane gives the example of a woman catcalled on the street to show context matters for boundary rigidity.
  • Going rigid or smiling to escape could both be valid depending on safety and history.
ADVICE

Assess One Boundary At A Time

  • Evaluate one boundary category at a time and review past experiences to locate your home base on the spectrum.
  • Use neurobiology-informed maps and practice in scenarios to refine where your boundaries should sit.
