Limits - much more than willpower

What to know

Lecture: Boundaries - much more than willpower. Many people feel that setting boundaries should be simple - that it's "just about saying no". Yet it is often more complex in practice Boundaries are not just a matter of mental strength or conscious choices - they live in the body and in relationships. In this lecture we explore how our boundaries are shaped deep within the nervous system, in attachments, relationships and life history. Why some people feel their boundaries clearly, while others overstep themselves again and again. And why unrest or adjustment can arise when we cannot clearly feel our own boundaries. The lecture opens up a more nuanced and human perspective on borders:Not as a mental process or something we "should be able to do", but as something that is developed in the interaction between body, psyche and relationships.
