About This Course

Stop getting abused and learn healthy boundaries. Learn how to be assertive and master communication skills.

When society is dysfunctional and parents are shame bound they display unhealthy boundaries and project their shame onto their children. This creates unhealthy boundaries in the children and makes it exceedingly difficult to set healthy boundaries and stop abuse.

The first section of this course teaches what healthy and unhealthy boundaries are, how they develop, how shame warps them and impairs an individual’s ability to defend against abusive behavior of self and others.

We are able to become intimate and resolve problems to the degree that we are able to communicate effectively. Most of the problems associated with society can be traced to faulty communication and conflict resolution. This video addresses the art of communication.

The second section teaches effective communication and assertiveness principles and identifies aggressive and passive-aggressive patterns. It will help you identify emotions and teach paraphrasing and validating.

  • Learn about the definition of boundaries and how they develop.

  • Learn about internalized shame from the parents and culture.

  • Learn what unhealthy boundaries are and how to defend against abuse.

It was kind of dry, maybe integrating some slides and more examples would help. Lots of handouts to download...

The instructor was boring to point where it was a little hard to focus. It looked like he was reading from a script. Good thing there are print offs that I can read from. I was not impressed with the class.
