relational boundaries

Relational boundaries refer to the limits and rules that individuals set within their relationships to protect their emotional well-being and maintain healthy interactions. These boundaries can define what is acceptable behavior, communication styles, and the level of intimacy. Healthy boundaries help establish respect, prevent misunderstandings, and ensure that personal needs are met. They can be physical (personal space), emotional (how much personal information is shared), or time-related (how much time is spent together). Setting and respecting these boundaries fosters healthier, more balanced relationships, allowing individuals to feel secure and valued.
