Boundaries Heal Trauma

Establishing healthy boundaries is crucial for healing trauma, as many individuals lack the necessary understanding of boundaries due to familial patterns. When trauma occurs without boundaries, re-traumatization becomes a cycle. Achieving effective boundaries requires a somatic approach, meaning that it must originate from physical and energetic awareness rather than purely intellectual efforts. The healing process involves acknowledging bodily sensations and emotional responses linked to past experiences, such as anxiety in the chest when facing boundary issues, often stemming from intrusive relationships. This connection between body awareness and boundary-setting underlines the need for a holistic healing journey.
