4.4 Secure Relational Boundaries – Say No Without Guilt, Yes Without Overgiving | Psychevita® Lifelong Capacities Map®

4.4 Secure Relational Boundaries is about balancing closeness and distance, yes and no, self and other. Boundaries here are not walls; they are relational signals that show where “I” end and “you” begin, so intimacy doesn’t collapse into enmeshment or isolation. You’ll learn the Secure Relational Boundaries Cycle — noticing early signals (resentment, pressure, guilt), naming the boundary domain, feeling the somatic signal, clarifying your need, and choosing a Soft No, Clear Yes, Conditional Yes or Request. Over time, “My boundaries protect both me and my relationships” becomes a lived reality, not just a nice idea.
