Are You Lost and Confused When it Comes to Personal Boundaries?
Do you know the eleven commonalities typically shared by adults who have experienced childhood trauma? Due to suppressing your traumatized inner child and its reactions, you may not have even identified these issues as relevant to trauma experienced in your childhood. When these behaviors crop up you may blame external sources such as your mate, relative, boss, co-worker, your child or circumstances. Or you may assume they indicate an inherent defect in yourself. They are neither. The following describes one of our common symptoms prior to recovery measures:
We are lost when it comes to personal boundaries.
We wander, back and forth, over the wavy lines of what should or should not be allowed in our interactions with our romantic partners, family, friends, acquaintances and co-workers. Others treat us however we allow them to. Since our wants and needs as children carried so little concern amongst the adult players in our life, we never developed the understanding that we decide how we will or will not be treated. Because we do not understand about setting boundaries, conversely, we do not understand about not violating others’ boundaries. This is another mystery of healthy relationships that regularly sets us on the outside, peering in.
Does this resonate with you or remind you of someone you know?
