Boundaries, some are very real and tangible, like the fence that runs along your property. Others are inside you, determining what you do, what you don't do and what you will tolerate others doing to you.

What are boundaries? 

A great deal has been said about people who have no boundaries and cannot stand up for themselves and how they are victimized by others; sometimes violently. These people have not established those invisible boundaries of commitment to self; clarifying to themselves what they will and will not tolerate. Those are boundaries in their simplest forms.

However, there are another set of invisible boundaries that must be honored, much like that fence showing the limits of your yard. Those are other people's boundaries. The fence that keeps your neighbor's dog out, also keeps yours in. Boundaries work both ways. They prevent people from invading our space and they prevent us from invading the space of others.

Assertive vs. Aggressive

The difference between being assertive vs. aggressive often determines whether you will be attacked or not. Unfortunately, a whole lot of people who are attacked think they are being assertive; when in fact, they are being aggressive.

Once you are consciously aware of these standards, then you have a far better chance of being assertive rather than aggressive. Bringing those standards to your attention is what this course will provide for you.
