How To Discern Boundaries - Insight Timer Live

In this recording of an Insight Timer Live from December 2021, Catherine shares how to discern where boundaries are needed in our relationships. Along the way, she leads two somatic explorations to discover how your body signals the need for boundaries, and how we can translate this innate wisdom into practical communication.

Brilliant learning around listening to my body to guide me in boundary necessity and setting. Thank you for your unique somatic approach to this subject 🙏🏽

When it’s your only child, adult daughter, it never stops feeling like a tragedy. I was responsible for her for so many years as a single parent. No amount of love, sacrifice, or prayer has ever changed the inevitable outcome. SMH What was it all for? It’s a f-ing tragedy that I don’t have to like, but I have to accept. And learn to love myself in spite of this shameful failure

Every time I listen to Catherine’s talks and practices, I unfurl slightly; I go deeper and find more insights.
I have become more connected to my body. I have listened to the contractions in my body where my boundaries are being violated and I have been able to tune into that fire and then use the tools of NVC to try and communicate my needs. Catherine’s book recommendations have also been pivotal: NVC and How to Be an Adult, are two of my personal favourites.
This talk has helped me realise that through my own integral changes and being my authentic self, I can state my needs and boundaries and even though I can’t expect the other person to change, I can change… and that will have a ripple effect.
Big love to Catherine

This talk covers a lot of ground. To me it is foundational for my personal growth. Thank you

This was so eye opening and at 67 with 23 yrs of raising 'grandchildren' (and an adult child), I am humbled. It appears shadow work is my next endeavor. I will also be listening to Codependency and Loneliness by you. Thank you ever so much for so gently sharing your free expertise here on Insight Timer. ✨️
