Learning how to hold boundaries is both a healing process
and a radical act of self-care. As children, so many of us experienced constant
boundary violations – our feelings, instincts, and body were not honored and
were constantly overridden by our parents, our teachers, and other authority
figures. As a result, we stopped listening to the signals that let us know a
boundary was being violated.
In this experiential workshop, we’ll rediscover the ways
that our bodies and emotions inform us that a boundary is being crossed and
practice accessing our own wisdom and strength to hold boundaries with others.
This workshop is a wonderful opportunity for any who struggle identifying and
holding healthy boundaries with their partners, family members, co-workers, friends
and/or children and want a safe place to explore and develop their
boundary-holding skills.
In this experiential workshop series, we’ll create a safe
space where you can explore the following questions:
• How do you know when a boundary is being crossed? How
do your body and your emotions signal you that a boundary is not being
respected?
• How do you “stay with yourself” – your experience, your
truth – and stay out of taking emotional responsibility for the other person’s
experience?
• What fears and beliefs keep you from forming clear
boundaries or speaking up when a boundary is crossed? How can you move through
those fears in order to stand for yourself?
• What language can you use to communicate your
boundaries cleanly, with clarity and compassion?
• What do you do when someone repeatedly crosses your
boundary, no matter how clearly you have communicated it to them?
It can be a deeply empowering act to trust your own
signals and to take care of yourself by holding a boundary. Come join us for
this exploration of boundaries and take a step toward an even deeper caring for
and honoring of your own value, your needs, and your heart.
