Somatic Boundaries Body Map
Boundary as a felt sense first
Where in the body do you feel someone getting too close? Boundary is a somatic experience before it is a verbal skill.
Where I feel 'yes / open' in body
Where I feel 'no / retreat' in body
Where I feel 'freeze / go along'
Practice
- Notice the signal early — not after you've said yes
- Trust the body's no even when your words are still catching up
- Say 'let me think about that' to buy the body time
