New Course Launch: Boundaries with Integrity

A 6-Week Exploration for Human Service Providers

If you work in a helping profession, chances are you've been told to “set healthy boundaries.” And chances are, no one really explained what that means—or how to do it in a way that actually feels doable and kind.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce Boundaries with Integrity: Fundamentals of Boundary Setting for Human Service Providers, a 6-week online course designed to help you explore what boundaries really are, how to set them with confidence, and why they matter so much—especially when your job is to support others.

The course starts next week! Registration is open until May 22nd

Whether you’re a therapist, social worker, teacher, coach, pastor, or anyone offering care and guidance in a professional setting, this course is for you.

So, Why Boundaries?

Because burnout is real. Because empathy fatigue creeps in. Because when we don’t have clear internal and external limits, our work stops feeling like service and starts feeling like survival.

But here’s the thing: boundaries aren’t about being rigid or shutting people out. Done well, they’re about staying connected to yourself while staying connected to others. They’re about knowing where you end and someone else begins—and honoring that space with clarity and compassion.

In this course, we’ll talk about boundaries not just as rules or guidelines, but as a deep expression of integrity—of living and working in a way that’s aligned with your values and your well-being.

What We’ll Explore Together

Each week, you’ll dive into a new theme through pre-recorded video content and supportive materials like journal prompts, handouts, and experiential practices. There’s also a weekly live Q&A session where you can ask questions and see demonstrations—off the record, in real time.

Here’s a peek at the weekly flow:

  • Week 1: Boundaries and Integrity
    What is a boundary, really? What does integrity have to do with it? And what are the costs—emotional, physical, and professional—of not having strong boundaries?

  • Week 2: Why Boundaries Are Hard
    If boundaries are so important, why do we struggle to set and stick with them? We’ll explore some of the most common obstacles, including internal “parts” that get in the way.

  • Week 3: Setting and Maintaining Boundaries
    We’ll work on practical skills and internal shifts that support boundary work—like emotional regulation, honest communication, and learning how to respond instead of react.

  • Week 4: When Boundaries Get Tested
    What do you do when someone pushes back? Or crosses a line? This week is all about navigating the discomfort, staying grounded, and honoring your limits even when it’s tough.

  • Week 5: Boundaries in Organizations
    Working in a system—whether a school, clinic, church, or nonprofit—adds another layer of complexity. We’ll talk about how to stay true to yourself in environments that sometimes expect you to give more than you can.

  • Week 6: Wrapping It All Up
    Our final week brings it all together. We’ll reflect on your evolving relationship with boundaries and how you want to move forward—both as a professional and a whole human being.

This Course Is For You If...

  • You care deeply about your work, but sometimes feel overwhelmed or overextended

  • You’ve been told to “set better boundaries,” but aren’t quite sure what that looks like

  • You want tools and language that help you stay centered, connected, and clear

  • You’re curious about how inner work (like parts work) can support your outer boundaries

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I need boundaries, but I don’t know where to start,” this course is the place.

Let’s rethink boundaries—not as something you should do, but as something you get to do, for the sake of your work, your relationships, and your well-being.
