Boundaries
Learn when to say YES, when to say NO, and how to take control of your life. An eight week course.
Boundaries are walls, lines, barriers, that we need to communicate to others. How far can I push someone? How far can they push me? What am I responsible for? and Who am I responsible to?
Testimonies include:
"This course changed my life"
"I learned how to stand up to the controlling people in my life"
"I learned that my behavior was inappropriate - and I needed to change"
"I learned to stop being responsible for other people"
"I need to take this course again, and continue my learning"
'Boundaries' is an 8-week course that includes videos by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, discussion time, weekly homework and journaling.
