Prepare or review a boundary conversation · S15.10

Set a boundary around a body-focused discussion

You are willing to talk about some things but not to focus on bodily sensations.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

  1. Decide what you are comfortable discussing now.
  2. State which kind of attention or exercise you do not want.
  3. Ask for an alternative format or stop the activity if the boundary cannot be respected.

An example

I can discuss the practical situation, but I do not want a body scan.

Reflect

Was your boundary clear and respected?

Next time

Change it only when you choose.
