Certain situations, environments and relationships can make it more difficult to maintain healthy boundaries. Recognising these boundary triggers can increase self awareness, highlight patterns in your responses and help you prepare healthier ways of responding in the future.

This evidence-based CBT worksheet helps you identify situations that trigger boundary difficulties, reflect on what happened, examine how you responded and consider what boundary may have been helpful. A completed example is included to demonstrate how the worksheet can be used.
