Boundaries

This 8 session course for women aims to provide participants with:

• A greater understanding of how to build, or rebuild,  relationships based on healthy boundaries.
• An appreciation of some of the motives that cause people to become “people-pleasers” and how to address the internal and external resistances to setting healthy boundaries.
• Skills to become “lovingly direct” in their relationships.
• An understanding of the importance forgiveness plays in emotional well-being, and the difference between being a forgiving person and giving people a license to continue hurting you.
• The ability to recognise clear boundaries others have set, and when we may have crossed these.​

​While some time is set aside for participants to share individually this course is not designed to operate as a therapy group.

Boundaries Success Stories

​Prior to the work I have done with St Peters House, I was scattered and searching for direction. I indulged bad habits that I am not proud of. Since DYTW and Boundaries, alongside counselling at St Peters House – I have been lean 16+ weeks, I have found faith in God and myself, and am empowered to achieve goals that have till now, only been dreams.

The course went well over my expectations.  I now have confidence in myself, knowledge of what is right and wrong for me and the realisation of this has set me free.

The course was truly empowering for me, it has helped me find my voice, and become stronger and healthier.  It has been healing.  My goals after this course are to build on my new found confidence, return to myself and find my purpose in life.

​This is the most beneficial course I have ever done! I wish I had learnt this at 14 not 40! But I’m now hopeful to regain control from “fear” in my life.

As a result of this course I feel really positive about my future.  I have made a plan to support my goals and dreams and have set some very clear boundaries to support my wellbeing.  The language I use when I talk about myself is positive - this is role modelling for my children.  For the first time in 14 years I feel like I am worthy of care, love and happiness. What a true gift this course is.

​A big thank you for what you offer at St Peters House. Your services help people in more ways than anyone could imagine. You have given me tools to have a better life.  Please keep helping women like me, we are grateful.  I haven't found anyone else that can help me and my family as much as you all have at St Peters
