Boundaries, being assertive we often hear about this. You would think we are all very able to stand up for ourselves. Looking at figures to do with burn out and relationship issues, you can conclude that we are not really that good at it.
Why is that? Several possibilities:
1. you do not know or feel where your boundaries are so you cannot speak up when they are being crossed
2. you do feel or know them but you do not take it and yourself seriously (enough)
3. you feel your boundaries but you are afraid to stand up for them and youurself out of fear of damaging the relationship.
Which one do you recognize? 1,2 or 3? Or maybe a combination?
