Understanding and Setting Boundaries

Understanding and setting boundaries is an important part of healthy relationships. Boundaries are created to protect oneself from harm. Boundaries can be physical or emotional. They can be visible or invisible. It is important to know how to express a boundary in every relationship.

Learn more about boundaries and how to communicate them as well as the importance of boundaries in our lives with this short video presentation.
