When It Is Used

Use this plan when relationship situations may affect recovery and the client needs clearer boundaries and responses.

What It Captures

The tool captures situations, boundaries, crossed-boundary cues, intended responses, missing-element cues, and practitioner review notes.

Limits

The tool does not assess relationship diagnoses, label people as safe or unsafe, provide legal advice, or decide whether a relationship should continue.

Does Setting Boundaries Plan decide whether a relationship is safe?

No. The tool organizes client- and practitioner-entered boundary planning content; it does not classify relationships automatically.

Can sensitive relationship details be entered without real names?

Yes. The product supports neutral labels or client-chosen wording for sensitive relationship content.

Can incomplete boundary entries be saved?

Yes. Incomplete entries are saved and marked with missing boundary, cue, or response parts for review.

Is demo relationship content saved into my account?

No. Saving stores the fixed tool, while fictional demo situations and sample notes are discarded.
