12:00 Workshop „"Boundaries that protect – feeling safe in relationships with others"” – this is an introduction to the self-awareness development workshop, during which participants had the opportunity to examine their beliefs about boundaries in relationships, but also had the opportunity to learn about their emotional reactions in contacts with others.
„"Many of us hold incorrect beliefs about boundaries in interpersonal relationships, which makes setting them a significant challenge. Perhaps we haven't experienced that asking for what we need and standing up for ourselves is a form of self-care, but also a healthy relationship with others. As a result, we fear that our needs may disappoint, offend, or upset others. This causes us to focus so much on the needs of others in our daily lives that we forget about our own. This leads to anger, frustration, and burnout; we feel undervalued, unimportant, and mistreated."”
