S3 | E8 Advice on boundaries and communication (Video 8 of my course)
Audio of my free sample course video from my personal development course 'Life Unlimited: Ten Steps to Real Change' available on my website at https://www.thistrustedplace.co.uk/life-unlimited
The course features 10 more half hour videos on subjects like relationships with others, creative imagination and getting to know yourself fully, along with course slides and various exercises.
The theory is based on compassion focussed therapy and the threat/reward/connection model I based my book, 'Finding a Balanced Connection', on. Threat is our survival part and so the place of fear, anger, hatred etc, reward is the drives and motivations part of us (food, sex, money, status, competing for resources and is therefore place of addictions and dependencies) and our connection part is the place of friendship, affiliation, contentment and love for self and others.
