Setting Boundaries
Have you ever thought about the importance of boundaries during recovery? Below are some of the top reasons why this is an important thing to consider. Keep in mind that every recovery situation is unique, but setting boundaries is a common thing in many recovery situations.
Limiting Triggers
One of the biggest reasons why you should consider setting boundaries during recovery is that it can help you limit triggers and improve your mental health. Triggers are anything that makes you tempted to relapse, so it’s important to avoid these things when possible (especially during early recovery).
If there are certain people or things that are triggering to you, it may be time for you to set some boundaries. Consider what boundaries you can put in place that will encourage your recovery and help you limit potentially harmful things. At Avalon Malibu, we encourage our clients to limit triggers when possible.
Personal Peace
Another reason to set boundaries is that it can help you protect your personal peace. If there are people in your life who have a negative view of your recovery, then you may need to set a boundary. It’s okay to protect your personal peace and surround yourself with people who are supportive of your recovery. Don’t be a fraud to consider which boundaries may need to be set in order for you to protect your peace and improve your mental health.
Setting boundaries can be scary at first, but it’s completely worth it. Consider taking some time today to think about which boundaries make sense for your situation and your recovery goals. Reach out if you have questions!
