Boundaries can be tricky to navigate when it comes to romantic relationships. We are told to be there for our loved ones not matter what but we also know that this is a recipe for burn out and resentment. So how do you maintain healthy boundaries in a relationship?

Having boundaries that are healthy and intentional gives us clarity in our lives. When we are clear about our space, time, and energy we have more room to explore our wants, needs, and desires. Healthy boundaries promote growth and taking charge of our lives.

When we think of boundaries, we usually think of being harsh or the word no. There are many types of boundaries but one that we don't talk about enough is financial boundaries. Finances cause a lot of stress for people, especially when money and family overlap. One of our clinicians in training, Daniel Mack, shares a personal story about financial boundaries and how he overcame a difficult family dilemma.
