But this isn\u2019t actually the essence of a boundary and it\u2019s not what the boundary is designed for.  Setting boundaries is actually a courageous act that requires self-awareness and self-love. It's about prioritizing your own well-being and honoring your own needs. And by understanding the importance of boundaries, we can navigate relationships and maintain our connection to ourselves. Join Lisa in this episode where you\u2019re invited to embrace a more flexible approach to boundaries \u2026 but we get it - even the words "flexible" and "boundary" may seem contradictory to you right now.  Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll learn:  Why boundaries are flexible and can change from moment to moment; How setting boundaries is about taking responsibility for ourselves, not controlling others; How to recognize the clues (in our bodies) that tell us when it\u2019s time to set a boundary;  Why nervous system work is essential for boundary work; Different ways to set boundaries, such as redirecting, being honest, or removing oneself from the situation; Why rejection often makes setting boundaries challenging (... and when we don\u2019t set a boundary, how it\u2019s a form of self-rejection);  Why sometimes perceived deal breakers aren\u2019t actually deal breakers; and How to translate this more relational-boundary setting into our work as clinicians. Tune in to this episode and discover how honoring your boundaries not only allows for connection and maintains relationships, but is a deep act of self-love and acknowledgement of your own worthiness. \u2728 Additional Resources:   \ud83d\udc9c Learn more about Synergetic Play Therapy: Visit our website for courses, resources, and certification opportunities \ud83d\udcda Explore Our Books and Read Aggression in Play Therapy \u2728 SPT Foundation: Learn more about its mission, team, and initiatives \ud83d\udd17 Follow us on Instagram \ud83d\udd17 Find us on Facebook ","author_name":"Lessons from the Playroom","author_url":"http:\/\/lessonsfromtheplayroom.libsyn.com\/site","html":"
