Understanding Boundaries

Most people think boundaries are about pushing people away, but the clinical reality is the opposite: Boundaries are the only way your emotional needs actually get met. If you feel resentful, overlooked, or empty, it's often because there is a gap between what you need and the limits you've failed to set. You cannot have a fulfilling relationship with others, or yourself, until you learn that a boundary is a protective circle around your own well-being.

In this session, we will bridge the gap between “saying no” and “feeling whole.” I introduce the Relationship Bullseye to help you define exactly where your boundaries should live so that your emotional needs finally have the space to be met.
