Everyone should have healthy boundaries".... and Cloud & Townsend guide us on what that might look like in all areas of our life, including family, friends, spouse, children, work, the digital age, and even ourself.
If we don't have those healthy boundaries in place, it can be for many reasons including a fear of guilt, not being liked, losing the love or connection or approval of someone we care about.
Sometimes we confuse "boundaries" with a perception that someone or some experience has not met a need we have (even if we don't name it like that!), and we might put up a wall - which brings a disconnection with a person or experience - so we shrink the possibilities for us and our life, our world becomes smaller.   
It is important to have an awareness of energetic boundaries - this is powerful in being able to be fully present in situations which we might otherwise avoid.  You will know in every moment whether it is right for you to engage or not.
Becoming trauma aware will help you understand whether the matter is one of boundaries, or whether a person/situation has provided you with an opportunity to heal a past trauma you didn't even know you had, which means you are back to the centre of our flower, or reconnected with your true self.
