Empowered boundaries happen when you listen to your internal truth, and you expect that your truth will be respected and accepted.
When you struggle with your own (or other people’s) boundaries, it means that at some point in your life, your truth was taken away from you and your truth was not accepted. You learned that when you are yourself, you are rejected.
Typically, this happens when you are young and your caregivers/parents override your attempts for your own space, your expression of your needs and your autonomy (the sense that you matter). Many times, you are being made responsible for other people’s feelings (e.g. your Mom or Dad are only happy when you meet their needs).
The message given to you is that it’s shameful to set boundaries, you are wrong to set boundaries, and bad things happen if you speak your truth.
To stay safe, you then stopped setting your boundaries. You adopt a pattern of giving away your power. And you never learned what is FEELS like (in your body) to set boundaries, speak your truth and expect to have your own space and feelings.
In our work together, we focus on giving your internal truth a voice again. You learn what it feels like to know your physical, emotional, and energetic space. You learn what your internal limits and needs are (instead of asking advice from other people).
I give you tangible tools to learn this so that you can re-discover your own, empowered boundaries again.
Totally do-able.
