& boundaries

You feel the constant need to please others, to be polite, and to keep the peace. You grew up feeling responsible for others’ feelings, worrying about whether people like you, and preventing conflicts. You realize that this leads to a constant sense of stress and maybe even resentment for others. You want someone who really understands this part of you and can help you balance being kind and setting more boundaries.

You might be dealing with…

  • Social anxiety

  • Fear of conflict and confrontation

  • Fear of criticism

  • Fear of rejection by others

  • Worry about what others think of you

  • Anger, resentment, or jealousy towards others

  • Feeling taken advantage of or taken for granted

  • Physical symptoms like headaches, stomach aches, muscle tension, sweating, and racing heart rate

You can have boundaries and still be kind.

You can set culturally-relevant and kind boundaries that will protect you and will not infringe upon others. You can find the balance between your identity as a helper and peacekeeper while also maintaining your own needs and desires. There is room for both and we can explore the specific nuances of your situation together.
