Do You Have Healthy Boundaries in Relationships? Insights from Psychic Eve

Are you having difficulty saying no?

We've all been there at some point or another. When a friend asks us to look after the kids for a little while longer, we oblige, lest we not appear supportive. When a colleague begs you to help them finish a report just as you're about to walk out of the office for the day, you agree, again. Or, when a romantic partner verbally accosts you at the end of a night's binge-drinking, you forgive (too) and do all you can to keep the peace, to appease the raging beast. 

​Signs of healthy relationship boundaries ​

Trust in each other is consistent.

Intimacy is standard and reciprocal

Moments of playfulness

Both of you enjoy time away with other people, such as friends and family, without resentment or signs of jealousy.

If you don't see these in your relationships, you may need to do some soul searching and decide whether it is right for you or if you can begin establishing boundaries. Boundaries are healthy!

For many, it is challenging to set boundaries for themselves. The mere thought of attempting to do so often elicits intense fear, fear of abandonment, and fear of rejection.

And in particular, setting boundaries for oneself can be extremely difficult if your childhood was riddled with experiences where your boundaries were breached, causing long term emotional and spiritual damage. Exploitation by another - whether verbal, physical, emotional, or sexual - leaves the victim in a state of helplessness as it attacks and severely damages the child's character structure who, in turn, grows into an adult with deep emotional wounds and trust issues.

These traumas lead the victim to feel that their time, resources, and body are available to others at length, whenever asked of them. Sadly, this trauma unsuspectingly creeps in and ultimately sabotages personal, romantic, and even professional relationships later in life. Until, insight and healing - which comes in many different forms - are introduced and actively cultivated, at one's own pace.

Being an empath can place you in learning life lessons about the importance of boundaries and relationships and how they are interconnected to your health and happiness. If you are an empath and suspect that your partner is showing signs of being a narcissist, you will want to rethink that relationship's value and realize your worth may mean more to you than being with that person. Love yourself first, as they say!

Sometimes the best therapy for empaths and highly sensitive people is to speak with another empath person, especially a psychic empath such as myself.

So, are you ready to take up the reins of your runaway chariot? Such empowerment can be achieved by connecting with one of our experts, Meet Your Psychic advisors, where you can safely and confidentially dig in deeper, gain some answers, and confidently lead back to your purposeful path.
