Boundaries Workbook

Product Description

This course looks at the concept of boundaries in 5 “sessions” or short chapter segments. After each lecture, you’ll be asked to do various activities to internalize and apply the concepts taught in each segment.

Boundaries include internally-motivated moral constraints, external rules, social expectations, laws, and any other internal or external demarcation that defines us as individuals.

• 5 “Sessions” (20 pages):
  1. Boundaries, Growing up, & Bill of Rights
  2. Internal & External Boundaries
  3. A Visual Model for Boundaries
  4. Safety & Intimacy
  5. Final Thoughts
• 19 homework activities (42 pages)

This workbook is intended for anybody who:

• Feels guilty when advocating for themselves
• Has unresolved trouble in any relationship and does not know why or how to handle it

Session 1 includes:

• Why are boundaries important?
• How do we develop boundaries?
• Why do we need to maintain boundaries?
• What happens if boundaries are not created or maintained? (Monumental confusion results)
• You’ll also learn about your own boundaries in the form of rights as an individual

Session 2 is a discussion of internal and external boundaries, and how we can appropriately and wholly connect with other people by establishing and maintaining boundaries.

Session 3 explains how we differentiate ourselves from others & stay connected to them. This section includes definitions and discussions about healthy boundaries, intimacy, and why we need intimacy in our relationships.

Session 4 examines the ideas of safety & intimacy in greater detail, along with their natural opposite, “undefined boundaries.”

Session 5 discusses why boundaries are needed in relationships, and how good boundaries create closeness.
