While support outside of therapy is important for anyone struggling with a mental health condition, caregivers without the proper training may experience feelings of burnout, stress, or resentment when attempting to help their loved ones through their issues. For this reason, Mission Connection’s guide says that it is equally essential for family members or partners to consider their own mental health when providing care, and one of the best ways to do this is by setting distinct boundaries.
“When someone we love is struggling, it’s natural to want to help them in any way we can,” says a spokesperson for the treatment center. “You want to support them, but without clear boundaries, you can become drained emotionally, as though your own mental health is suffering.”
According to experts at Mission Connection, healthy boundaries encourage clear communication about the mental and emotional limits of both parties, which will prevent conflict and improve relationships. Healthy boundaries will also promote independence; this ensures that the patient does not become overly reliant on a single person for their needs, especially when they already possess the capacity to care for themselves.
When setting boundaries, Mission Connection’s guide first suggests that the caregiver consider how much support they are able to provide, what practical help they can offer, and what to do when these limits are broken; the caregiver should also explain any reasoning behind these boundaries, such as family or work obligations, as this will prevent misunderstandings. However, Mission Connection notes that it’s important for the supporter to recognize when it is the right time to discuss the topic; if the patient is behaving irrationally, it may be difficult to communicate boundaries to them.
Finally, the guide emphasizes that caregivers should prioritize their physical health, seek support if needed, and adopt strategies to manage stress levels. By caring for themself, the supporter will be able to better provide for their loved one.
