Recognizing Enmeshment and Setting Healthy Boundaries
Enmeshment refers to a lack of autonomy and separateness in relationships, hindering the establishment of clear boundaries. It can involve resistance to personal growth and an overemphasis on sameness and traditions. Setting boundaries involves creating comfortable closeness based on mutual respect and individuality. When transitioning away from enmeshment, gradual steps like reducing contact frequency can be effective, focusing on personal agency and honoring one's needs.
