A PIE will aim to be flexible and responsive; but still there are boundaries, and always we must sometime, somewhere, draw the line.

Can we have limits to availability, support, tolerance; and confrontations, exclusions and even evictions, that build rather than end the centrality of healing relationships?

Can we have – or rather, how can we have – boundaries set with Psychological Awareness?  What thinking, what tools and techniques can we share?  If this is something that your own agency wants to work on – just contact us.

This discussion was one of the liveliest from Season One of these lunchtime forums. So we will continue the conversation, over Season Two.

NB: We have a  brief summary - more of a commentary really - of some of the 'stand out', 'take home' points in the video opposite.

But no amount of summary of what was said can beat actually taking part, live, in the conversation.

You had to be there.
