Start the Protect Yourself from Toxic People Path

What you will learn on the Protect Yourself from Toxic People path:

This path is intended to equip you with a strong sense of how to set and uphold healthy boundaries. You'll learn skills that will help you develop new behaviors and the confidence to examine core aspects of your needs and how those relate to your relationships.

If you are prone to getting hurt over and over again, or you find yourself in the role of the people pleaser, or people just keep walking all over you, this is the path for you.

Paths are self-paced, meaning you can complete them on your own timeline, at whatever speed feels right to you. Our suggestion is to plan on spending about 6 months working through this material.

Courses include:

The 10 Laws of Boundaries, How to Say No, Safe and Unsafe People pt. 1 & 2, How to Handle a Narcissist, Facing Controlling Relationships, Entitlement, Emotional Abuse, Codependency pt. 1 & 2, How to Avoid Drama, Hope, Necessary Endings, Revenge, and finally, Forgiveness

Boundaries in Relationships

Relationships provide the essence of thriving, both for ourselves personally and professionally. But, not just any kind of relationship will do. The relationships that provide fulfillment to us have certain components to them.

The Boundary Between Love and Hate

When you think of hate, you may think of the negative connotations associated with it, but in this course, Dr. Henry Cloud explains how hate plays a different role in our lives. Hate is one of the most important aspects of being human. It is one of the most critical ingredients of a good person's character. What we hate says a lot about who we are, what we value and what we care about. And how we hate says much about how we will succeed in love and life.

Safe and Unsafe People pt 1

Safe and Unsafe People is a course designed to help you identify your good and harmful relationships. You'll learn how to protect your connections with the people who help fuel your success, and how to protect yourself from the harm caused by the people who take away your freedom and energy.

Shame

When we experience shame, we feel like we’ve failed ourselves in some way. We believe that we didn’t live up to some standard that was set. Maybe it’s a precedence that was set by ourselves, or perhaps it was someone else, but regardless, feeling shame leaves us feeling like were “bad” or “damaged” in some way. In this course, Dr. Henry Cloud is going to talk about how to address shame, how to cure ourselves from the burdens of shame and how to protect ourselves from feeling unnecessary shame as we move forward past pain in our lives.

Feel Like Going in a Different Direction?

Entitlement

There’s something common that happens in our personal lives. It is just one of the truths about life: sometimes we need to do something for ourselves that is not good for someone else, at least not in the short term. Our decisions might force someone to deal with some rejection or loss. But ultimately they are responsible for their own lives, as adults have to be. In this course we'll talk about how our boundaries can protect us from the demands of entitled, immature people who need to face reality.

Addressing Your Spiritual Needs

All growth is spiritual growth. Christians are aware of their need to grow. Some come to this point because they possess a hunger and desire to know God and his ways better. Others are interested through a problem or crisis that has driven them to seek his paths. We believe that getting to know God more deeply, growing emotionally, and having better relationships are all matters of spiritual growth and our boundaries. God has designed a path of growth that leads us to him and his ways. As we learn to experience that path, we enter life, our whole life. Our life is not split into “physical life” and “spiritual life.” They work as a whole. This changes our entire existence, encompassing emotions, behavior, relationships, career and everything else in life.
