Continuing your personal boundary journey
Is this for you?
- You generally put other people's needs before your own.
- You find it difficult to say no when someone asks you to do something you would rather not do, you probably will feel resentful towards the person afterwards. If you do on a rare occasion say no this causes you to feel like the bad guy or guilty.
- You prefer to avoid conflict with others.
- Your own health and self care is low on the list of priorities.
This workshop is not aimed at:
- Those <18
- Parents wanting to set boundaries with children <18
- Those with a psychiatric diagnosis
- Those with severe trauma such as PTSD or types of Abuse such as Emotional, Physical, Sexual or Neglect
