Step Two : Being Mindful of the Situation When you talk with someone, try to become mindful of how much they are sharing, what type of information they are sharing and act accordingly.

The first page of this worksheet describes the difference between rigid, porous, and healthy boundaries through the use of examples and logically organized information.
