In my session work, my clients and I discuss how important relational health is to personal wellbeing. So, let’s do a short relational health exercise in our heads together right now.

Take a quick inventory of the top five or so people you care about most in your life. Think of the people you love most in the world – the relationships you prioritize over everything else – and answer the following questions:

·        Who do you gift your time, energy, and compassion to?

·        How do you express your love to these individuals?

·        In what ways do you prioritize them?

·        Last question… Did you include yourself on that list?

If you forgot to put yourself on the list, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with prioritizing self-love. But why? Let’s explore what self-love really is, what self-love is not, why it matters, how to practice self-love, and why loving ourselves feels so… selfish?

Let’s dive in…

Time and time again I have observed how the lack of boundaries, the struggle to communicate and uphold boundaries, and the lack of respect towards boundaries are often the primary catalysts for emotional distress and relational fallout. Whether you are facing relational anxiety or looking for ways to better manage your stress, boundaries can play a powerful role in restoring authenticity and inner peace.
