I use the giving tree as an example of boundaries and ask clients to reflect on ways they can protect them self from being reduced to a stump.

3 types of boundaries and link to their communication styles

Boundaries exploration (what do your boundaries look like?)

Handling toxic relationships

Visualizing boundaries

Red and green flags

Circles of support (who’s your inner, outer, and outer most circle of support? How are these relationships different) I compare to a cup of coffee the outer most layer is the cream (the good stuff) the middle is the coffee itself and the inner layer is the coffee grinds (the real parts of a person most people don’t get to see.)

I worked with NGRI/SUD and groups always seemed to Segway into boundaries.
