Trouble Setting Boundaries? It’s NOT Your Fault. But Here’s What You Can Do About It.
For people pleasers, setting boundaries can often bring up
Guilt
Shame
Fear
Guilt
Is this fair of me to ask?
I don't wanna burden my partner.
Shame
Oh gosh, does asking for this make me needy?
What will my partner think of me?
Fear
Can my relationship handle this request?
What if my partner gets irritated or loses interest in me?
What if my boundary creates a conflict that we can't recover from?
Guilt, Shame & Fear are not your authentic truth when it comes to setting boundaries.
But it's not your fault.
This is a widespread phenomenon because of the war culture we're saturated in.

But there is something you can do about it!
Why?
Because boundaries are bridges for connection.
They help you deepen trust.
Which deepens your bond.
Imagine—
What if setting a boundary didn't send you down an emotional roller coaster every time?
When boundaries stop being chores and start deepening trust and connection— that's the pleasure of relating 💕
If you’d like a structure to help you move through somatic blocks to setting boundaries, I’ve created a workshop for you.
It’s a spacious container that de-stigmatizes the challenge of setting boundaries while guiding you through a somatic exercise + energy work to help you move forward.
