Svenson: boundaries

Boundaries are about establishing a perimeter around the personal and private spaces of our lives and not letting the world come crashing in uninvited.

People with unclear boundaries can find themselves making commitments under pressure that they would never make with a clear head. They find themselves ‘caving in’ to others.
