Ethics of Touch: Boundaries: The Invisible Fence

Course overview

In this course we define the territory of boundaries which can be physical, emotional, intellectual, sexual or energetic. We all know the feeling when someone stands too close to us or touches us when we do not want to be touched. Some part of our being feels invaded. It's as if we have an invisible fence that some people see and others do not. By increasing the awareness of our own and others' boundaries, we can improve our therapeutic relationships and avoid many inadvertent slips into uncomfortable and unethical behavior.
