Knowing Your Boundaries
Event Information
About this Event
Our society today, in many ways, teaches us to repress what we feel, both emotionally and physically, for the purposes of being polite, getting along with others, working in a team, or accomplishing a task. Consider that repressing or otherwise ignoring these feelings, while offering an immediate positive result of being polite, avoiding conflict, and getting along in the short-term, it leads to resentment and breakdowns in the long-run.
Someone with strong boundaries knows when a boundary has been crossed. You could even say that they know when a boundary is close to being crossed. How do they know? Because they’ve had their boundaries crossed before, and they know how it feels. They are attuned to their bodies and emotions so that they know when a boundary is coming up, and can communicate it before it is crossed.
In this workshop, we will
- Explore what you already know you want or don’t want,
- Reveal the emotional reactions and physical sensations that indicate when a boundary exists, and
- Identify your indicators that a boundary is about to be crossed so you can bring it up before it is.
Only through awareness first can we begin to impact our lives.
