Boundary Styles

Do you find yourself shutting people out completely or letting them walk all over you? Both too many boundaries and too few boundaries can prevent you from getting your needs met. Your boundary style is a survival strategy you developed to stay safe, but if it's leaving you isolated or exploited, it's time for an upgrade. By understanding these patterns, you can move toward a more flexible, confident approach that protects your peace while still allowing for deep, meaningful connection.

In this session, I help you identify your default boundary styles and the specific emotional needs they were designed to meet. We'll move beyond rigid defenses and toward a healthier model of self-advocacy that works for you in every area of your life.
