Everything you thought you knew about boundaries is about to change
The Human Boundaries Model will challenge you to re-examine what you thought you knew about who you are. Discover how human identity operates as an adaptive system and you’ll learn the central role of systemic boundaries in managing that system. The Human Boundaries Model offers deep insights, ideas, and tools that will help you change yourself, your organization, and your worldview for the better. It’s change that matters and change that lasts.
The Boundary Problem
Everyone has boundaries. They’re essential in our lives. They hold things together and keep us safe, but they also have a downside. Most boundaries operate outside our conscious awareness. They direct behaviors, emotions, and thoughts based on deep-seated beliefs learned long ago. In the beginning, these boundaries were adaptive. However, for many people, their boundaries no longer work to make their lives better. Too often, those old boundaries make their lives worse and prevent growth and change. Since they are unaware of their boundaries, they keep engaging the same old program and keep getting the same destructive results with no idea why.
The System IS The Solution!
Identity and boundaries work together as a system. The boundaries exist to protect identity by preventing change because change is perceived as a threat to the system. Even change for the better will be resisted because the system can’t help it. Many destructive behaviors, emotions, and thoughts are driven by these powerful boundaries that keep us trapped in an endless loop of who we’ve always been and doing what we’ve always done.
Learn to take charge of these boundaries and create DEEP CHANGE in the core of your being. Their deepest, most negative beliefs about ourselves can change for the better and our lives become happier and more satisfying as a result.
