You might know you need boundaries, but setting them feels uncomfortable or unsafe. Saying no brings guilt, anxiety, or fear of disappointing others — so you keep overextending, even when you’re exhausted.

Boundary difficulties are common in high-achieving people-pleasers, especially when early relationships required you to stay attuned to others’ needs.

You may notice:

• Difficulty saying no or asking for help

• Over-explaining or justifying decisions

• Resentment after agreeing to things

• Feeling responsible for others’ emotions

How therapy may support you

Therapy can support you to understand where boundary patterns came from and develop limits that feel respectful, realistic, and sustainable. We’ll focus on emotional regulation, self-trust, and values-led communication — at a pace that feels manageable.
