• Feels guilty when advocating for themselves
• Has unresolved trouble in any relationship and does not know why or how to handle it

Part 1 includes:

• Why are boundaries important?
• How do we develop boundaries?
• Why do we need to maintain boundaries?
• What happens if boundaries are not created or maintained? (Monumental confusion results)
• You’ll also learn about your own boundaries in the form of rights as an individual

Part 2 is a discussion of internal and external boundaries, and how we can appropriately and wholly connect with other people by establishing and maintaining boundaries.

Part 3 explains how we differentiate ourselves from others & stay connected to them. This section includes definitions and discussions about healthy boundaries, intimacy, and why we need intimacy in our relationships.

Part 4 examines the ideas of safety & intimacy in greater detail, along with their natural opposite, “undefined boundaries.”

Part 5 discusses why boundaries are needed in relationships, and how good boundaries create closeness.
