Boundaries and Self-Care

Setting boundaries and implementing self-care are essential elements to a healthy, balanced life. It can be difficult to identify and maintain healthy boundaries, especially when it comes to relationships with others. Integrative Psychotherapy can help you understand your own values and create strategies for setting and enforcing boundaries.

Boundaries are an important part of life. They help us to define ourselves and understand what we will and will not accept from others. In relationships, boundaries can provide a framework for how we interact with others and how much time and energy we are willing to give. Setting boundaries also helps us to protect our psychological and physical health, allowing us to take better care of ourselves.

Self-care is an integral part of setting boundaries. It can include things that we take for granted like getting enough sleep, eating healthy food, exercising regularly, and taking the time for activities that you enjoy. Self-care also means taking steps to protect yourself from physical and emotional harm. This could include limiting contact with people who drain your energy or create stress in your life. It also means saying no to requests that make you uncomfortable or take away from your own needs.

At Wye Counselling and Psychotherapy, we understand that setting boundaries and practicing self-care can be difficult, especially when it comes to difficult relationships. Integrative Psychotherapy can help you to identify and understand your own values and create strategies for maintaining healthy boundaries. We can also help you to identify and work on any underlying issues that may be preventing you from taking care of yourself.

Our services are based on a combination of evidence-based psychotherapies and approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), person-centred therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. We also understand the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for our clients, and our team of experienced practitioners are dedicated to providing you with an empathic and non-judgemental space.
