Online: Setting boundaries

Draw the line politely

Setting boundaries and telling it like it is can be quite scary and nerve-racking. But by clearly stating what you do or don't want, others will know exactly where they stand. Learning to set boundaries requires assertiveness and mutual respect. Being assertive means that you stand up for yourself without hurting someone else unnecessarily. Get started on discovering and setting your boundaries in this compact assertiveness course. It will help you improve your self-confidence, increase your personal strength, and reduce your stress.

For whom?
What and how

We recommend that you reflect on exactly what you want to achieve with this course on setting boundaries. Do you want to be an expert in setting boundaries as soon as you finish this course? Perhaps that's a little too ambitious. You might be satisfied if you can establish your boundaries and let people know when they risk crossing them. If this is your starting point, then this course on setting boundaries is just what you need.

What will I learn?
In this course on setting limits, you'll learn to recognize when you've reached your boundaries. You'll learn how it feels to reflect on and react to what you feel and experience. Once you know how it feels to have reached your boundaries, you can set them. You'll also learn how to let others know where your boundaries are and what they mean to you.

What will I do?
You'll be setting and clearly stating your boundaries. You'll start with minor "discussion points" that you identify: such as the laundry your partner always leaves lying around the house. Or the woman who cuts in front of you in the checkout line, the colleague who constantly asks you for a favor and never does anything in return, or the other one who talks loudly on the phone all day in the office. In short, you'll get started by tackling issues that may not seem earth-shattering to you, but which you might usually let pass.

We want to help you set your boundaries. It's possible that not all the examples or exercises apply to your situation or environment. The intention is certainly not to embarrass others, but to communicate your boundaries respectfully. So take from it what you can and feel comfortable with. But don't forget, if you want to learn to set your boundaries, you will need the courage to step out of your comfort zone.

After this learning journey, you'll know:

how to set boundaries in a respectful way
that setting boundaries is not selfish
the role assertiveness plays in this
