Boundaries. Written by PC For me, healthy boundaries are limits I set on my own behavior, rather than rules and restrictions I place on the behavior of others. I only have power to set my own boundaries, not to set somebody else's boundaries or boundaries for someone else. For me, unhealthy boundaries are overt or covert attempts to control another person's behavior according to what I want and desire, rather than as a path to my own self-growth and serenity.

As a recovering co-dependent, I have the right to define my personal boundaries. I set my own boundaries in order to enhance my relationships, to promote my own serenity, and to ensure that my process of self-growth continues. My right to set healthy boundaries carries with it the responsibility for me to clearly communicate my boundaries to those persons closest to me who may be affected by my boundaries.

I never use my boundaries as bludgeons for punishing another person or as a tool to control others. Is this a healthy boundary? An introduction to the non-profit < Break the Cycle! > Web site. Options for resolving personal boundary conflicts and violations.
