Boundaries are completely natural and organic.
But as we grow up, we often have to prioritise belonging — to our family, community, or system — over staying true to ourselves. At that time, it’s necessary for survival.
Over the years, though, this need for belonging can leave us with little space to develop our own inner compass — the internal “yes” and “no” that guide our choices.
The consequences can be painful.
We begin to lose the ability to care for ourselves well, because we no longer feel what’s right or wrong for us.
THE RESULT? YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF:
Using boundaries as walls to shut people out when they hurt or disappoint you
Giving more than you actually have to offer
Feeling selfish whenever you want to do things your way
Crushed by the guilt of not being the “good daughter/son/wife/husband/…” society expects
Speechless when things don’t go as planned
Avoiding dating, difficult conversations, or even replying to messages
Unable to make changes — because deep down, you know change means setting and holding boundaries, and that feels scary
IN THE FIRST PART OF THE WORKSHOP, YOU WILL EXPLORE:
What it really means when we say: “Boundaries are not walls, but the place where I can love you and myself at the same time”
How boundaries protect your values and needs
Why boundaries are essential for deep, meaningful connection
How healthy anger supports healthy boundaries
The ways traumatic events can shape (or distort) your relationship to boundaries
IN THE SECOND PART, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:
Tuning into and identifying your needs
Practising how to ask for what you need
Noticing the patterns that show up when your needs go unmet
Building the capacity to say “no”
PLEASE NOTE:
This is a self-exploration workshop. It’s not a substitute for trauma therapy or psychotherapy. You're warmly invited to participate in the exercises — but nothing is required of you. After the workshop, you might want some quiet space to reflect or journal. We recommend keeping your evening free from major plans.
