The Boundary Setting Map helps prepare clear limits without escalating or over-explaining. A boundary names what you can choose, what you need, and what action you will take to protect that need.
This worksheet separates the situation, need, limit, request, consequence, and tone. That structure makes it easier to communicate directly while staying respectful and grounded.
Use it before a conversation about time, energy, privacy, work, family, or friendship. Good boundaries are specific, realistic, and connected to your own behavior.
