Let's talk about Boundaries.
The Three types are Porous, Rigid, and Healthy Boundaries.
1. Porous Boundaries are like sponges. Both positive and negative relationships easily influence these types of boundaries. People with these types of boundaries often avoid conflict by engaging in people pleasing behaviors, like agreeing with the other person no matter how they feel. These people often communicate passively.
2. Rigid Boundaries are like brick walls. Both positive and negative relationships no not influence these types of boundaries. People with these types of boundaries often avoid conflict by pushing others away. These people often communicate aggressively.
3. Healthy Boundaries are a balance between the two. Positive relationships influence the boundaries, while negative relationships no not influence the boundary. People with this type of boundary can accept that conflict is a part of life, meaning they can also move past conflict when appropriate. These people often communicate assertively.
