How Traumatic Boundary Violations Affect Your Ability to Practice Self-Care
Self-care is the intentional practice of actions that support our well-being, such as engaging in activities that bring enjoyment, rest, prioritizing physical health, getting enough sleep, or taking a bath.
But what happens when the boundaries that protect our physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational space are confusing or non-existent? When the boundaries that protect and define us are repeatedly crossed or ignored, it can leave deep wounds that make even the most basic acts of caring for ourselves feel overwhelming, undeserved, or unsafe.
Self-care is not just about routines, habits, or pampering activities. At its core, it’s about repairing self-connection. It’s a process of learning to listen inwardly to parts of yourself that were pushed down, silenced, frightened, or ashamed. This work is not about rushing or forcing change, but about moving at the pace of trust, safety, and attunement.
