It's important to be proactive and rehearse the potential boundary situations we may come up against so that we feel we are able to stay strong when surprise situations arise. Use the examples below or others that you can think of that will help you be ready when the time comes.

Practice Situations: 

  • The "space invader" -someone who inappropriately touches or invades personal space 
  • The client/friend/relative who takes advantage and manipulates with victim mentality 
  • The boss on the power trip who demands to stay late, gives extra work or has unrealistic expectations
  • Family member who guilt trips or asks private information 
  • The unsolicited advice or gift giver 
  • Other practical example you’ve experienced 


Boundaries only exist when you claim them.
