Healthy Boundaries

Learning to set and maintain healthy boundaries can be complicated for survivors of abusive relationships, especially in the aftermath of consistent boundary crossings by abusers. In Triumph Over Abuse, I talk a lot about how important it is to practice healthy boundary-setting as part of the abuse recovery process. This helps survivors both distance themselves from toxic people and make room for healthy relationships with friends, family members, and even possibly a new romantic relationship.

This quote, "Healthy boundaries are about making efforts to both keep bad things out and let good things in," can be found on page 46 in Chapter 3 on Surrounding Yourself with the Right Support.
