  • 💔 Setting Boundaries Without Feeling Guilty

    ❤️ Relationships & Boundaries

    Why Boundaries Trigger Guilt

    If you’ve been conditioned to prioritize others over yourself, setting boundaries can feel selfish-but it’s actually a healthy act of self-care and self-respect.

    Guilt Is Just a Sign of Growth

    Feeling guilty doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It often means you’re stretching into new emotional territory. It gets easier with time.

    Support Makes It Easier

    Therapy can help you examine your guilt, validate your needs, and build emotional resilience as you create space for healthier relationships.
