In this Boundary Bootcamp workshop, Brad and Kaylene help trauma survivors turn boundary ideas into real-life action. Instead of just talking about what boundaries are, this session focuses on getting specific: what internal boundary you need most, what external boundary you’ve been avoiding, and what will actually help you enforce them when life gets messy.
You’ll hear how internal boundaries often start with one powerful goal: stop doing damage when you’re triggered. That could mean not binging substances, not spiraling into reactive conversations, and choosing self-care first so you don’t make tomorrow harder than it needs to be.
The workshop also breaks down why many boundaries fail: they’re too vague, you don’t anticipate obstacles, and you don’t have a plan for enforcement. Whether it’s bedtime, screen time, people-pleasing at work, or staying calm with a specific person, the focus is on clear rules, realistic systems, and skill-building over perfection.
If boundaries have felt confusing, guilt-heavy, or impossible to maintain, this episode reframes them as self-respect in action—simple, consistent choices that protect your nervous system and make PTSD recovery sustainable.
