Boundaries are about safety, not control.
For many people with relational or developmental trauma, boundaries weren’t modeled, respected, or even allowed. So setting them now can feel confusing, threatening, or overwhelming, especially in close relationships.
A trauma-informed understanding of boundaries recognizes that:
Difficulty setting boundaries is often a survival strategy, not a failure
Boundaries can be flexible and revisited, not rigid or final
It’s okay to go slowly and find the words over time
Repair matters just as much as clarity
Boundaries help create conditions where connection can happen without fear, collapse, or self-abandonment.
At RENNI, we hold boundaries as a practice rooted in compassion, consent, and nervous system care, not perfection.
🌱 You’re allowed to choose safety and connection.
