What is a Boundary Violation?

It is a breach, an infringement, a transgression. Boundary violations are mostly associated with physical or sexual. However, we can experience emotion and psychological ones when someone tries to manipulate and violate you in that way. Boundary violations can be psycho-spiritual when someone starts toying with your belief systems and gets you to believe in something else (Cult leaders are masters in that.) A boundary violation can be anything that violates your own sense of wholeism and that’s the key word here. They are called violations because they violate our wholeism. Wholeism means your birth right to exist in this life with value, with a sense of free will, autonomy, interdependence, to exist as a whole person. Anything that harms that is a violation, anything that transgresses that is a boundary violation. Delve deeper in your personal boundaries on our Journey Beyond course. More information here.
