Are You Struggling to Set and Maintain Boundaries? 

Burnout Therapist Austin Online

You may be the reliable one. The strong one. 

The one everyone turns to. 

 

But lately you may notice:


    • You say “yes” even when you’re overwhelmed
    • You’re exhausted from managing others’ expectations
    • You feel guilty putting yourself first
    • You struggle to express what you need
    • You’re constantly stretched thin
    • You don’t feel in control of your time, energy, or emotional bandwidth


This is what it looks like when boundaries are blurred especially for high performers who care deeply and carry a lot.

When Boundaries Are Hard,

It’s Not Because You’re Weak

High achievers often avoid boundaries because they’re used to:


    • Being dependable
    • Keeping the peace
    • Avoiding conflict
    • Taking on more than their share
    • Proving their worth through doing


You’ve likely spent years operating this way, and it’s only natural that saying “no,” asking for help, or disappointing others feels uncomfortable.


Boundary setting isn’t about being harsh.


It’s about being honest, authentic, and self-respecting.

How Boundary Setting Therapy Helps

Together with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), we aim to help you:


1. Identify Where Your Limits Actually Are
Many high performers are so used to pushing through that their needs become invisible, even to themselves. Uncover what you truly want and what you’re no longer willing to carry.
2. Reduce Guilt Around Honoring Your Needs
We’ll explore why guilt shows up to help you build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
3. Set Boundaries That Match Your Values
You’ll learn techniques to help you communicate clearly, respectfully, and confidently, without the fear of conflict or backlash stopping you.
4. Untangle People-Pleasing Patterns
Understand where they come from, how they function, and how to shift them without losing your kindness.
5. Build Relationships That Feel Mutual, Not One-Sided
Boundaries strengthen connection, they don’t break it. Learn skills to help you create relationships based on respect, clarity, and authenticity.

High Achievers Might Struggle with Boundaries

(And Why You’re Not Alone)

Great at problem-solving at work, supporting friends, or meeting deadlines but struggle to:


    • Say no
    • Slow down
    • Ask for space
    • Express frustration
    • Step back without explaining yourself

 

High-functioning adults often believe they can “handle it all,” but the emotional cost builds over time… leading to resentment, burnout, anxiety, or feeling invisible in your own life.

 

Boundary setting is not a personality makeover; it’s a skill, and one that can be  learned.
