Description

Talk of boundaries is ubiquitous these days in mental and behavioural health. But do we really understand what they are and why they are important? If not, how can we hope to understand how to use them for maximum effect? Have you ever said, “he (or she or they) has disrespected my boundaries”? We think we know what we mean when we say this, but there is a trap hidden in this simple statement. It is a trap that keeps you vulnerable, unhealed and stuck in dynamics that won’t work for your relationships with others or with yourself. Small shifts in perspective and behaviours can turn that around so that you can flourish.

 

In this talk I will unpack the evolutionary journey that has lead to our emotional and physiological need for boundaries, and how these are our own individual needs based on a healthy respect for our nervous system. I will show that those needs are always valid, how to clearly state them, what to do when that doesn’t work, and the broader healing context that they are a part of. Getting this right can be a gateway to a calmer, more healed, more productive, even spiritual, life.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • To learn the evolutionary history that has led to a need for boundaries.
