This workshop gives information and support for developing the essential self-skills required for building healthy relationships with others.  It is the first workshop in the educational/informational phase of a seven workshop series.  You will begin to identify the hidden forces that control your relationships so that you are better able to get to the root of the problems.  Remember that learning and applying new concepts takes awareness, practice, reinforcement, and support.

Boundary Workshop #1

Based on a model developed by Pia Mellody.

What I Value, I will Protect.  What you Value, I will Respect.

Both an educational and experiential workshop.

What are personal boundaries?   How do they work?   How do we create them?

Learn the first step in assessing your own personal boundary systems.   Join and share with others in this process.

Boundaries are a necessary quality for intimacy.    Personal boundaries allow you to contain your own self-esteem and maintain your own personal power and keep someone else’s reality out of your domain if you do not agree and accept it.
