Boundaries: Finding Your Yes and No. 1:1 Coaching Session

Boundaries: Finding Your Yes and No

Before we can communicate a boundary, we need to notice it.

Sometimes the mind says yes while the body is pulling away. Sometimes we know something doesn't feel right but can't quite find the words. Sometimes we notice our boundary only afterwards, when irritation, exhaustion or resentment arrives.

Somatic exploration gives us an opportunity to slow that process down.

Rather than beginning with what you should say to another person, we'll begin with you: your sensations, impulses, wants, limits, and the subtle ways your body communicates yes, no, maybe, more, less, stop or not yet.

We might explore:

Your embodied yes and no.

Becoming more familiar with the physical sensations that accompany wanting, not wanting and uncertainty.

What happens around a boundary.

Perhaps you freeze, override yourself, accommodate someone else, become unsure of what you want, or find it difficult to stay connected to yourself when another person's needs enter the room.

Wanting and asking.

Exploring not only what you don't want, but your capacity to recognise and communicate what you do want.

Staying with the response.

What happens in your body when someone is disappointed, disagrees, says no to you, or has a boundary of their own?

This isn't about becoming better at saying no or learning the "right" way to communicate. It's about developing a deeper relationship with your own signals, so your boundaries can emerge from a clearer sense of what is happening for you.

My practice is non-touch-based and consent-led. Some practices may invite you to explore touch on your own body, but you remain in charge throughout. I offer questions, practices and possibilities; you choose what you want to explore and can adapt, pause or stop at any time.
