A Journal Prompt for the Grief in Setting Boundaries

morningcoffeetherapy Boundaries, Journal Prompts February 27, 2024February 27, 2024 1 Minute

Setting a boundary triggers grief.

Choosing to not be mistreated can mean

loss of connection.

Setting a boundary around a controlling parent,

might mean less contact.

Shedding the part of you that was okay for awhile with how it was,

means you lose the comfortable and predictable feeling.

Journal Prompt: If I set a boundary, I will grieve…

  Absolutely!
  
  You can set a boundary and not lose contact. I think what tends to happen, is grief shows up when there are changes in relationships.
