MAY 18 24: The Sovereign Voice 2 Workshop
This workshop presents a structured approach to establishing firm and compassionate boundaries in challenging relationships. The session begins by highlighting how to identify lingering effects of past trauma and recognize the “tough love” parent voice as a crucial tool for setting limits. Participants then discover why these boundaries are essential for fostering emotional growth and self-regulation, especially when dealing with family members or authority figures who habitually disrespect or diminish others. The workshop covers practical steps for selecting specific individuals to address, followed by clear guidance on preparing an inner plan before any real-world conversation takes place. Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of insulating wounded inner children from direct conflicts so that the adult remains in charge, ensuring that difficult encounters become opportunities for healing instead of re-traumatization. By consistently practicing these techniques, individuals can reshape their emotional landscapes, gain confidence in voicing needs, and enjoy deeper, more authentic connections.
