LOL, I had a mental picture of trying to walk through a "house" wall like I could expect to and bouncing off instead :-)

Good ones, September!

You might be doing good self care if you remember to use "I" words.

Everyone has permeable boundaries, Perna. If not, then maybe they need to rethink theirs. A house wall is hardly permeable.

Hey, it works in cartoons and magic/fantasy!

Boundaries can be thought of as firm yet flexible. Your boundary moves with you and is selectively "permeable." You are in charge of what you allow into your boundary. If something comes at you that you agree with or fits your experience of yourself, you can choose to allow it in and incorporate it into your "I" messages and self-talk. If, however, something is not a part of you or is not true for you, you can choose to leave it outside of your boundary.
