Counselor Training:
Personal Boundaries Training
Jesus said, in the sermon on the mount, "Let your 'yes' be yes and your 'no' be no" . but then he added that anything beyond that comes from the evil one. Matt. 5:37. All too often we say 'yes' when we feel a 'no' in our spirit. So when we don't "own" our own heart and have an inside 'no' and speak an outside 'yes' we become angry and resentful and feel like a victim. We are not victims, we are not being authentic or real, but avoiding confrontation and being disobedient to the spirit inside us. Boundary training is about learning how to own your own heart and how to be obedient to the Spirit God has placed in you.
Training: Boundaries
Description:
The Word tells us in Proverbs to "guard your heart with all diligence, for from flow the issues of life." Then in Proverbs 23:7 God tells us that as we "think in our heart, so we are." Most of us have lost our hearts and are broken-hearted. So as we begin Boundaries, we will be talking about restoring our lost and broken hearts.
Jesus is our example of what an authentic life looks like. He always listened to his heart where God would speak to him. "I only do those things that the Father tells me to do and I only say what He tells me to say."
In this class we will learn about three things that we all do which never work in relationships: trying harder, being nicer, and taking responsibility. All three are things we've been taught most of our lives.
Description:
In class tonight we learned the first four principles of Boundaries.
What are some of the reasons we say 'yes' when we feel 'no'? Where does our responsibility to set boundaries begin? What are we responsible for and what are we not responsible for? How does co-dependence violate Boundary principles? These are some of the topics we'll discuss tonight.
Description:
Tonight we will learn about why it's so difficult to set boundaries.
A lot of people can't set healthy boundaries because they believe the myths and conflicts they hear in their heads and that they feel.
It is very important to understand the opposition that we will face, so that we are prepared to do the things that are necessary to set healthy boundaries. This is the theme of tonight's class.
Description:
In class tonight we discuss Boundaries in Marriage.
In marriage we often see one or the other spouse try to control the behavior, feelings or thoughts of the other.
Another thing that we see a lot in marriages is the blame game. One partner blaming the other, rather than taking responsibility for their feelings.
Description:
Tonight was about the problems that we have setting boundaries on ourselves.
A very high percentage of people who come in for counseling are dealing with boundary issues and conflicts setting boundaries on their own behaviors in the areas of time, eating, money matters, sexuality, gossiping or too much talking etc..
Boundaries Teachings
God is very boundried and He created us to be like Him. Boundaries are about owning your own heart--being authentic. Healthy relationships are relationships that have good boundaries. Unhealthy relationships don't have good boundaries.
Song of Solomon Teachings
Do you want to know what God has to say about romance and love and sex? In this 3,000+ year old book we learn about attraction, dating, courtship, considering the cost, marriage, the honeymoon and how to fight fair in marriage.
Identity Teachings
Many of us don't realize how important our identity is. It's generally the first thing that the enemy attacks. Most of us think, incorrectly, that our identity flows from our performance, but in the Kingdom, our performance flows from our identity.
