Many individuals understand the term "boundaries," but they have no notion what they are. Boundaries can be thought of as a property border or a "brick wall" intended to keep people out.

However, borders are not fixed lines etched in the sand for all to see.

Boundaries are a mechanism for us to protect ourselves. When you learn how to develop and maintain appropriate boundaries, you may prevent feelings of resentment, disappointment, and rage that arise when boundaries are crossed.
