Boundaries Define Individuality
- Boundaries define where one person ends and another begins, establishing individual physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
- They create safety, enabling authentic self-expression and healthy connections with others.
Enmeshment Dilutes Individuality
- Growing up in a boundaryless environment can create emotional contagion and enmeshment where feelings and beliefs blend into one shared system.
- This fusion removes individual authenticity, causing family members to experience stress or emotions collectively rather than separately.
