Boundaries & Communication
Counseling Services
Setting boundaries is an important aspect of healthy communication. We have the right to communicate with others how we would like and would not like to be treated, and to protect the values that are important to us. When we set healthy boundaries we are showing respect for ourselves and others. There are many different reasons that we develop unhealthy boundaries and the consequences of those affect every area of our lives. Counseling can assist you in exploring your personal value system so that you can begin to communicate in a healthy way.
