Week 2: Childhood Lessons and Fear of Saying "No"

Healthy Boundaries Series
with Vanessa
Starting Apr 24, 2025 12AM UTC

About this Space

Personal boundaries aren’t walls that isolate—they’re bridges that allow authentic connection.

Then why do we often find ourselves nodding "yes" when our hearts scream "no"? Why do we let fear—fear of conflict, rejection, or being labeled "difficult"—keep us from expressing our wants and needs?

The truth is, many of us don't even know what a boundary is, nor were we given a blueprint on how they work.

As a result, our boundaries are unknowingly shaped by a series of experiences, from childhood to the present.

The good news? We can break free from learned, unhealthy boundaries by bringing awareness to our personal preferences, desires, limits, and deal-breakers.

Join us for six weeks of discovery, challenge, and growth as we explore healthier ways to honor ourselves by bringing our personal boundaries into awareness.

By recognizing our needs and valuing our worth, we can establish boundaries that protect us while allowing for genuine connection.

  • Week 1: What are Boundaries?
  • Week 2: Childhood Lessons and Fear of Saying "No"
  • Week 3: Our Personal Preferences and Desires
  • Week 4: Our Limits and Deal Breakers
  • Week 5: Violation Recognition
  • Week 6: Communicating Boundaries with Clarity

We will be meeting Tuesdays, for one hour weekly for six weeks. Please join only if you can attend at least 3 sessions

Limited seats available—reserve yours today!

Setting healthy boundaries for ourselves is challenging, especially when we haven't been given models for how they work. While it may take longer than six weeks, our series is a safe, supportive space where we can start making lasting changes together.
