Question: ARE YOU;

1. Putting up with behavior that is disrespectful in your Relationship?

2. Giving in to things that are not in accord with your values for fear of being alone if you ended the relationship ?

3. Staying in a relationship that you know has passed its deadline?

4 . Going back into a relationship that you know should be over?

5. Getting into a relationship that you know is not going anywhere?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions then you have boundary issues you need to work on. Book a few sessions to learn how to establish Healthy Boundaries.

Remember to share, tag and invite family and friends.
