IF YOU’VE NEVER THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT SETTING BOUNDARIES WITH PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE,
IT MAY SEEM SELFISH OR EVEN A LITTLE CONTROLLING. BUT OAKLAND-BASED MARRIAGE AND
FAMILY THERAPIST CAMERON, ASSURES US THAT THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE. RATHER THAN A
METHOD OF CONTROLLING SOMEONE’S BEHAVIOR, HE SAYS BOUNDARIES — WHICH CAN INVOLVE
ANYTHING FROM PHYSICAL SPACE TO EMOTIONAL SHARING TO MONEY AND RESOURCES — ARE
MORE LIKE “COMMUNICATED GUIDELINES ABOUT HOW TO RELATE WITH YOU OR TREAT YOU.”
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY'RE AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF TAKING ACTIVE CONTROL OF YOUR
MENTAL HEALTH. BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU SET AND ENFORCE THEM WITHOUT
PUSHING PEOPLE AWAY? THERE’S NO ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL METHOD FOR BOUNDARY-SETTING,
BUT THE PROCESS WILL BE MUCH SMOOTHER IF YOU ADHERE TO A FEW PRINCIPLES.

TIPS AND TRICKS
FEEL LIKE YOU AND YOUR PARTNER ARE SPEAKING DIFFERENT LANGUAGES? TRY THIS TACTIC
“COUPLES OFTEN DISCUSS HOW THEIR PARTNERS DO NOT HEAR THEM ACCURATELY,” SAYS
PSYCHOLOGIST MICHELLE GOLDMAN. “WHEN WE FEEL UNHEARD OR FEEL LIKE OUR WORDS ARE
BEING MANIPULATED, WE CAN EASILY BECOME DEFENSIVE
[[link removed]].
SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVE TO NAG OUR PARTNER FOR ANYTHING TO CHANGE;
SOMETIMES WE FEEL LIKE WE’RE BEING NAGGED.”
SO, WHAT CAN YOU DO? A TACTIC TO TRY: GET IN THE HABIT OF REFLECTING BACK TO
YOUR PARTNER WHAT IT IS THEY’RE SAYING. LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU HEARD THEM AND
GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO LET YOU KNOW IF YOU HEARD IT OR PROCESSED IT CORRECTLY.
GOLDMAN OFFERS AN EXAMPLE: “IF ONE PARTNER SAYS, ‘I’M UP AGAINST A DEADLINE, I
HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TIME I’M GOING TO BE HOME TONIGHT, EAT DINNER WITHOUT ME,’ THE
OTHER PARTNER CAN SAY, ‘SO IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU AREN’T SURE WHAT TIME YOU’RE GOING
TO BE HOME BECAUSE OF WORK, I SHOULD EAT WITHOUT YOU AND YOU’LL WORRY ABOUT YOUR
OWN DINNER. IS THAT RIGHT?’”
WHILE IT MAY FEEL STRANGE, THIS ALLOWS THE FIRST PERSON TO KNOW THAT YOU HEARD
THEM AND RESTATE IT IF ANYTHING GOT LOST IN TRANSLATION.
