Face your fears before you set a boundary. Because setting limits is a risk, it isn't easy, especially in difficult relationships where you will get pushback. When you do, you have to stand firm; if you haven't faced your fears first, you will have trouble doing that. You can have strong boundaries once you have faced your fears.

Do you know the dance of intimacy? Healthy relationships have mutual interactions where both people make moves that bring them closer together. Unhealthy relationships lack these skills and as a result, they often move further apart. 
You can assess how well you do each of these things in your relationships. You can also assess how well the other person does them to recognize the potential for growth in your relationship. 
Dysfunctional relationships are confusing. Learning how to identify unhealthy patterns will help you make sense of them.
