My Personal Boundaries allow my emotional power to be retained. They form a force field of protective energy, that other people are unable to cross, when my specific boundary aligns perfectly with my personal standard of behaviour. When my boundary is out of alignment with my own standard of behaviour, it has no power and is ineffective because it is an expression of my own hypocrisy.
