Psychological discussions have focused on the role of limiting beliefs and the establishment of personal boundaries. Insights suggest that internal narratives, often learned from family or past experiences, can cause individuals to reject opportunities by creating a false sense of incapacity.

In the context of interpersonal relationships, psychotherapist Nilda Chiaraviglio has emphasized that boundaries should serve as a means of self-recognition rather than a tool for controlling others. During a podcast with Marco Antonio Regil, Chiaraviglio noted that true boundaries begin with the individual, focusing on personal values and responsibilities instead of attempting to dictate the behavior of partners.
