Have you ever struggled with setting appropriate boundaries with family members, friends or others? Do you feel unsure or confused about how or when to say “no”, “maybe”, “not now”? Do you try to set boundaries but then have difficulty maintaining them? Or do loved ones accuse you of being controlling?
If you can relate to any of this, please watch the Families Anonymous online education session featuring Betty Hill Crowson, life coach, retreat director and author (TheJoyisintheJourney.com). Returning for a second time, in this new presentation Betty will bring some much-needed clarity, humor and concrete suggestions to help us maneuver through this complicated subject. She will outline a boundary “toolkit” which will not only enable us to identify and stop trying to control people, places and outcomes, but also empower us to learn how to have an appropriate voice which can set healthy limits for the good of all.
