Part of the Boundaries Wheel

What is Free?

The liberation of a social life shaped by genuine choice rather than obligation. You say yes with enthusiasm and no without guilt. Freedom is the ultimate reward for strong social boundaries.

When you might feel free

Free is a specific form of obligations, which itself is a type of social. You might experience this feeling in situations where social is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define free.
