Setting boundaries can be hard. Experiencing set boundaries can be even harder. Understanding that we get to set boundaries even when they are experienced as hard or uncomfortable is an important part of becoming our most healthy and human self.

If it is felt like a dragon, it is felt as burning.  Sometimes however, our inner ponds or lakes of connection turn to swamps, and in order to replenish, they have to burn off the undergrowth and soggy dead roots.  When this happens, anything no matter how gentle and lovingly offered as a  boundary can feel like we are being harmed.
