There are four kinds of boundaries that Shore teachers, external, psychological, containing, and physical.  External boundaries are between you and other people, psychological and containing boundaries are inner boundaries that support external boundaries.  Physical boundaries can be both internal and external.

When you think about how most women are raised, we are raised to consider our own needs second or third if at all.  So the idea of setting boundaries can feel selfish or unkind and this can make it difficult to have boundaries.

Boundaries are a topic that comes up with each of my clients.
