I think boundaries whilst still living at home can be some of the most important boundaries we can put in place! They can also be some of the hardest.
It can really be determined by the dynamics of your family, your cultural heritage, the amount of people in your family, living arrangements etc.
It can be hard to know how to put them in place and what to put in place.
I talk to clients about things on a micro level that can end up adding up such as spending 5-10 minutes longer in your car when you get home to take space for yourself before you go inside, sit in silence or listen to your favourite song, practice mindfulness or just scroll on the phone in peace.
Taking a few extra minutes in the shower/bathroom to also allow yourself some time and space.
Taking yourself to your room if you need to remove yourself from the family.
Taking yourself on a walk if you need some space.
