Different Kinds of Boundaries

Physical Boundaries

Physical boundaries refer to our privacy, our personal space, our comfort with touch and our human basic physical needs such as food, water, and rest etc.

Emotional Boundaries

Emotional Boundaries include limits on respecting and honouring our feelings and energy. It also includes when to share and when not to share personal information and who to share this information with.

Sexual boundaries

Sexual boundaries include your expectations, your consent, agreement, the privacy around physical intimacy which includes sexual comments and conversations. What is and what isn't okay with you. What you feel comfortable with and what makes you uncomfortable.

Intellectual or Mental Boundaries

Intellectual boundaries refer to your thoughts, ideas, beliefs (religious, cultural or otherwise).

Healthy intellectual boundaries include having someone respect your thoughts, ideas, beliefs without criticism or dismissing them.

Material Boundaries

Material Boundaries refer to money, possessions and things of a material nature.

Healthy boundaries involve setting limits on what you will share, with whom, how long etc.

Time Boundaries

Time boundaries refer to how a person uses their time.

Time plays a very important role in stress and burnout. We tend to overextend ourselves - we think can do everything for everyone at anytime!

Energetic Boundaries

Energetic Boundaries refer to your energy.

Note: If you feel someone is violating your sexual, physical boundaries, or if you are dealing with someone who is narcissist or has an addiction//mental health issue you may need to seek professional help (therapist, mediator, police). Always keep yourself safe.

Boundaries are limits that you put into place to protect your time, your energy, your possessions, your feelings, your thoughts, your ideas, and the list continues. They set limits on how you are treated, approached, and touched.
