Breaking the Family Pattern
Begins April 28How to Set Boundaries with the People Closest to You
❋ What to Expect4-Week Small Group Experience
Talking to parents and siblings can be some of the hardest conversations we have. Family history, expectations, and old roles often make it difficult to say what we truly mean.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t know how to bring this up without it turning into an argument.”
“I set boundaries, but they don’t respect them.”
“Every time I try to talk to them, I shut down.”
“I keep giving more than I have to give.”
This small group is designed to help you navigate those conversations with clarity and confidence.
This is not just about learning what boundaries are. It’s about practicing how to communicate them and how to hold them—especially when family dynamics make it difficult.
❋ What This Group IsThis is a 4-week small group experience focused specifically on navigating difficult conversations with parents and siblings.
