Boundaries promote connection by ensuring safety, while walls isolate individuals from others due to fear and frustration. Boundaries involve open conversations and flexibility, allowing for healthy relationships. Walls arise when boundaries are ignored, becoming rigid and indiscriminate. Cultural pressures often lead individuals to feel they must reconcile with family before it's too late, creating guilt surrounding estrangement. Boundaries are crucial for maintaining mental peace, whereas walls limit emotional engagement and connection with others.
Boundaries say, "come closer, but safely." Walls say, "stay away, period." A boundary wants connection, while a wall is built from fear and frustration.
Many clients wrestle with the cultural pressure to reconcile "before it's too late," creating a narrative where estrangement feels like a ticking time bomb.
