Somatic Boundary Practices

Push, stop, no — as body exercises

TherapistAssist logo

Somatic boundary practices — push, stop, no — done as body exercises before they're relational skills.

Exercises (5–10 min)
  • Hands out, palms facing away — say / think 'stop' on exhale
  • Push into a partner's hands (or wall) — matched pressure
  • Walk toward and away — notice preferred distance
  • Say 'no' out loud at increasing volume
  • Ground and orient after
