Date & Relate to Others With Self-Worth

Learn to respect, protect and champion yourself in relationships

"This is my dance space and this is your dance space. I don't go into yours. You don't go into mine" 

 Johnny to Baby in the movie Dirty Dancing


How do we take care of ourselves in relationships with other people? 

How do we stand our ground, respect ourselves, value ourselves, say 'Yes' when we mean 'Yes' and 'No' when we mean 'No' and call out behaviour that doesn't sit right with us? 

How do we let down our walls so that we can let another person come close to us, whilst also creating a healthy framework for ourselves and others that protects our precious hearts?

It's a challenge, right?

The art of setting boundaries is especially challenging if nobody modelled healthy boundaries for us when we were growing up.

It's even more challenging if we have shaky self-esteem, low self-worth, a poor sense of self, childhood wounds, a belief that we don't deserve to be treated well and/or a sense that we can't ask for what we want and need. 

But if we go dating or try to form and maintain a relationship with porous boundaries or no boundaries at all, we may get hurt or burnt, which may put us off trying to date or form a relationship again. 

This is a vicious cycle that keeps us stuck.

On the other hand, if we go dating with walls instead of boundaries, we'll never let anyone get close to us so we'll never experience the joys of true emotional intimacy.

Healthy boundaries are the bedrock of healthy relationships and this workshop bundle will help you to set them and to maintain them.

Improve all your relationships with healthy boundaries

This bundle of two workshops (recorded live with different sets of participants) will support you to form and maintain healthy relationships with others - be they romantic partners, friends, family members, colleagues, bosses and so forth. 

If you are looking for love, these workshops will support you to date and relate with healthy self-esteem. 

On these workshops, we explore the following:

* How healthy boundaries with others begin with the boundaries we set for ourselves

* The deep reasons why some of us struggle to set and hold healthy boundaries with ourselves and others

* The difference between boundaries and walls when it comes to finding and keeping love

* The consequences of overstepping our boundaries or allowing others to trample on them

* How to manage the shame that often hits when we stand up for ourselves


Please note that the contents of these two workshops are similar although each one was recorded with a different group of participants so the content is slightly different and new questions arise.

On these workshops, you will have access to my unique brand of insightful, psychological education, rooted in a deep understanding of trauma, addictive relationship patterns and codependency. 

We'll be focusing primarily on boundaries for dating and romantic relationships but the information will be relevant to other relationships too. 

Key Takeaways

This workshop bundle will give you:

  • A plan of action to support you to respect and value yourself by setting and maintaining healthy boundaries around substances and behaviours such as food, alcohol, work, screens, exercise and so forth. This increased self-worth will then be reflected in your romantic life and your other relationships.

  • A framework to support you to date in a healthy, grounded and rooted way that protects your precious heart, empowers you to differentiate between available people and unavailable people and allows healthy people to get close to you.

  • Ways to stay accountable with your boundaries so that they work for you, helping you to maintain a loving relationship with yourself and to transform your experience of dating and relating.

  • Greater clarity, a greater understanding of your relationship dynamics, more ease when relating to others and a sense of being in the driving seat in your relationships rather than feeling like a victim or a bystander.

About This Workshop

These two workshops were recorded live on Zoom with a small group of women. The workshops include exercise prompts and invitations to reflect on or journal about your own experiences, which you can do in your own time by pausing the recording. 

You'll also hear me reading our participants' contributions, shared via the chat during the live event. Hearing others' experiences and struggles will help you to feel less alone and will give you more clarity about your own patterns of behaviour.

If you'd like more support to work through your individual patterns of behaviour in relationships, to find your voice and to show up authentically, please book a 1:1 coaching session or a package of 3 sessions.

You can also book a free 30-minute discovery call to see if my coaching is right for you here.
