      <image:title>Blog - Boundaries Without Abandonment. - Hi there, my name is Mairo [May-row], and I use she/her pronouns.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m a therapist passionate about creating spaces where your unique experiences are centred and celebrated. I believe our intersecting identities — race, culture, gender, and sexuality — profoundly shape how we navigate the world, our relationships, and, most importantly, our relationship with ourselves.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Boundaries Without Abandonment. - As someone who grew up in a collectivist culture, I view boundaries as agreements that clarify how we remain in a relationship without resentment, burnout, or harm. In communities where interdependence is central, boundaries ensure care flows in both directions, protecting individuals and the collective. At their best, boundaries are acts of responsibility. They say: "I want to stay connected, and this is what I need to do that well." Without them, care becomes an obligation, support becomes an expectation, and love becomes something we do at the expense of ourselves. Over time, this erodes trust. The community feels the strain, even if unspoken. This is where communication becomes essential. I n collectivistic contexts, unspoken boundaries are often misinterpreted as rejection, disrespect, or selfishness. Silence leaves room for assumptions to grow. Clear communication, on the other hand, anchors boundaries in a relationship. It allows us to explain our intentions, set boundaries, and affirm our care simultaneously.</image:title>
