The last three years of massive uncertainty and change has made us reevaluate the place of work in our lives. We’re rethinking what we want out of life. Boundaries are one tool that can help us build a way of living and working that cultivates well-being and flow. Before we can set boundaries for work/life balance, we have to pause, step back from the momentum, and consider what’s on our plate. In this workshop presentation, Amber Hunter-Crawford, LCSW-S from the Employee Assistance Program will help us unpack the latest research on what healthy boundaries are, signs you may need healthier boundaries, and why you might have trouble setting healthy boundaries. Then we’ll engage in reflective exercises to make space for you to understand your needs, identify your values, clarify what deserves your energy, and explore ways to prioritize what matters most.

The Gottman Method is based on the Sound Relationship House model that was developed by Drs. John & Julie Gottman after 40+ years of systematic research into what makes relationships healthy or dysfunctional. Betrayal impacts the weight-bearing walls of your Sound Relationship House and can make your world feel like it’s crumbling. In this webinar we will address the three stages of recovery from betrayal: Atone, Attune, and Attach and address the key tasks and outcomes that predict successful repair and restoration of safety and trust in a relationship.
