Boundaries

The lines that make connection sustainable instead of sacrificial.

Description

Healthy boundaries protect both you and others from unmanaged Parts. They allow Self-Leadership by keeping the system inside the Window of Tolerance. Clear limits calm protectors: they no longer need to explode to get space.

What Boundaries is NOT:

Walls; people-pleasing with better branding; power games.

Examples:

Ending a call before burnout hits.
Saying “I need five minutes” instead of vanishing.
Telling an exile “not now, but soon.”
