Emotional Health is Element 1 in the Nine Elements of Nourishment framework. What do we need for nourishment in this element?

Many things, but one of the most important has to do with having strong, protective emotional boundaries.

Here’s something I learned recently from a book I’m reading.

Emotional boundaries require safety, respect, and freedom to be oneself.

Anything that:

• Shames

• Silences

• Controls

• Dismisses

• Overpowers

• Invalidates

…teaches a person to abandon themselves in order to survive.
