Boundaries as Acts of Self-Compassion

Today, we’re exploring boundaries — one of the most powerful expressions of self-compassion in action.

Boundaries are not about control or separation. They’re about honouring your needs, values, and truth so you can meet the world from a place of clarity and love. In this short introduction, I’ll guide you through why boundaries are such a vital part of self-compassion, and how to approach this practice gently and effectively.

STEP 2 - PRACTICE TIME

Identifying and Expressing a Boundary

Now it’s time to gently explore setting a boundary in your own life. Once you’ve watched Step 1, move through today’s second video where I’ll walk you through:

• How to recognise where a boundary is needed

• How to clarify what is and isn’t okay for you (including consequences without threat)

• How to express your boundary with clarity and care

This is a powerful yet tender step, so take your time and choose something small and manageable to begin with. (This video is approx. 15 minutes)
