is this you?
You want to be generous and kind, yet find that you are giving yourself away. You end up saying yes to more than you can or want to do. You wait too long in a given situation to set a boundary and then react angrily, later regretting what you said or did.
Or, perhaps you find yourself participating in toxic interactions and wish you could rely on yourself to set a boundary.
Maybe you want to be closer to others and find yourself feeling distant and disconnected regardless of your hope to be close.
You are ready to get clear about how to say yes when you mean yes and no when you mean no. You want the tools to determine what really works for you. You want to trust yourself to navigate relationship decisions with skill and wisdom.
What’s it all about?
Having clarity about Life-Serving Boundaries in relationships allows a greater sense of security and freedom. When you are clear about boundaries for yourself and others, you also know where you are free to play and grow together.
Life-Serving Boundaries are about honoring the life in you and another, rather than cutting off connection. Setting Life-Serving Boundaries means having clarity about what really serves life or meets needs. It means making a conscious decision about how you will relate to another or behave in a particular situation while being able to remain heart-connected.
To set Life-Serving Boundaries, you need to be able to recognize and honor your own needs, speak clearly about them, understand the verbal and behavioral language of boundary setting, honor the needs of others without taking responsibility for them, and engage in healing work with regard to your experiences of boundary violations in the past.
Learning to set Life-Serving Boundaries is a Relationship Competency that helps you embody an authentic life and live respectfully with others.
You can read more about Life-Serving Boundaries in our new book.
About Mindful Compassionate Dialogue
Mindful Compassionate Dialogue (MCD) naturally supports you in creating the relationships you want by integrating the wisdom and skills of three powerful modalities: Hakomi, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and mindfulness.
Each modality contributes something unique to the process. Hakomi offers clarity about reactivity and healing. NVC provides a method for achieving self-responsibility, skillful communication, and agency. Mindfulness adds the stable attention and clear focus needed to continuously refine your understanding and skills.
MCD is a system meant to provide access to agency, compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom. Personal transformation is achieved through practice with the 12 Relationship Competencies and 9 Foundations, which arise from a central, life-serving intention.
