Set up compassionate boundaries
If you have a sibling with BPD, you may feel fear around setting up boundaries, worrying that the very act of doing so will cause your sibling to react negatively. One thing Watson often works on with clients who are close to someone with BPD is setting up what she calls “compassionate boundaries. “Demonstrating limits with curiosity, with kindness can really clear up a lot of the worry that some individuals with BPD have when boundaries are set.”
