Boundaries Course
Boundaries are limits you set in place to ensure your mental, physical and emotional well-being. They are integral parts of every relationship we have, even the relationship we have with ourselves. Good boundaries also help inform our identities and contribute to healthy relationships, better mental health and overall well being.
This Boundaries course will help you learn what boundaries are and why they are important. You will learn when you need boundaries, how to create them and how to maintain them.
What are the impacts and benefits of healthy boundaries?
Healthy boundaries lead to a decrease in exhaustion and resentment and an increase in compassion for yourself and others. Good boundaries lead to less guilt around saying “no” to others. By building good boundaries, you will:
- get a clearer understanding of who you are
- develop trusting, safe and respectful relationships
- create more time for yourself
By implementing healthy boundaries, you will gain greater control over your life and wellbeing, a stronger sense of empowerment and self-respect and the ability to communicate your wants and needs.
What to Expect
We have created this course using various experts, resources and literature on the psychology of boundaries. Some of the topics we cover include:
- Understanding boundaries and where your current boundaries are
- The process of developing, maintaining and communicating boundaries
- How to unlearn patterns of unhealthy boundaries
- How to respond to people's reactions to your boundaries
- How to implement self-care, priorities, support and accountability to help keep you moving forward
Course Format
The course format is an 8-week, structured and interactive discussion group where participants work through readings and scenarios to understand their current boundaries and how to improve and maintain them. We offer both in-person and virtual groups throughout the year.
Our facilitators have a background and extensive experience in the facilitation of mental health groups. They are trained in the Boundaries curriculum and committed to helping and supporting our participants.
