Strategic Communication Skills & Healthy Boundaries
How to use communication skills to ensure healthy boundaries leading to a successful life.
Facilitator: Michael Beckham and Bhavna Bharvani
This group session aims to empower participants by teaching effective communication skills for establishing healthy boundaries. It includes interactive classes with role play, discussions, and case scenarios, focusing on improving relationships, self-awareness, and mental health.
Learning effective Communication Skills to create Healthy Boundaries can have meaningful benefits:
- Improved Relationships: Clear communication can help avoid misunderstandings and conflicts, leading to healthier relationships both personally and professionally.
- Self-Empowerment: Setting boundaries allows individuals to advocate for their needs and wants, promoting self-respect and self-efficacy.
- Better Mental Health: Boundaries can help reduce stress, anxiety, and burnout, contributing to improved mental health.
- Increased Productivity: In a professional setting, clear communication and boundaries can lead to a more focused and efficient work environment.
- Enhanced Self-Understanding: The process of setting boundaries requires self-reflection and understanding of one’s values, needs, and limits.
- Respect for Others: By setting your own boundaries, you learn to respect others’ boundaries as well, fostering mutual respect in relationships.
What the group would entail?
This Workshop consists of 4, 75 minute, interactive classes (also referred to as ‘sessions’) to explore the benefits of using Strategic Communication Skills in order to enhance our Boundaries with others, thus seemingly effortlessly transforming our lives. Participants will have the opportunity to fully engage in the Educational process as well as role play, dissecting case scenarios, open discussions and generous amounts of Q&A opportunities.
Personal/Professional Empowerment and Strategic Skills have been embraced by the Workshop participants in the past.
This Workshop is a great way to begin to help participants to process and manage their lives with intent.
During our last session we will spend time reinforcing our new skills and demonstrating the concepts presented in this workshop.
What is the role of the therapist?
It is the therapist’s responsibility to manage the process of the Workshop and to ensure a smooth, safe, and effective participant experience resulting in creating a new understanding of how strategic communication can greatly affect our lives.

This Workshop will be organized using a ‘ramp up’ style to Educational Presentations with the goal of easing participants into new skills and strategies with an organic concept flow.
Is this group for me?
Participating in a workshop on communication and boundary skills can be a transformative experience. It equips individuals with the tools to express themselves clearly and assertively, fostering healthier personal and professional relationships. The workshop empowers participants to set and respect boundaries, promoting self-respect and mutual understanding.
This, in turn, reduces stress and enhances productivity. Moreover, the process of setting boundaries encourages self-reflection, leading to a deeper understanding of one’s values and needs. Ultimately, such a workshop can be a stepping stone towards improved mental health, self-efficacy, and interpersonal relationships.
Participants are encouraged to attend all sessions as each new Workshop session builds on the previous concepts.
Participants do not need to pass a pre-screen due to the nature of the workshop.

Bhavna 熱衷於與各種種族、性取向及性別表達的青少年、成年人和伴侣合作,以便他們能夠深入了解自己,培養充實、有意義的生活和人際關係。
伴侣:無可否認,處於安全的愛情夥伴關係中具有強大的力量和療癒作用。然而,當我們的重要關係面臨壓力時,便可能會變得虛弱。 Bhavna 為伴侣提供了一個安全的空間,讓他們能夠識別消極的互動模式、了解和溝通彼此的主要需求、培養他們在關係中想要的親密關係,並解決性問題。 Bhavna 也了解多角戀和非一夫一妻制,並且了解糾結/BDSM。此外,Bhavna 還與希望透過故意分手過程結束關係的客戶合作。
成人:有意識和無意識的信念、假設和關係模式可能會阻礙人們過他們想像中的生活。 Bhavna 熱衷於幫助人們擺脫「困境」、管理抑鬱和焦慮、克服自我懷疑、應對變化、學習應對壓力的技巧、治癒羞恥感、改變內心批評的聲音、與自己成為朋友,並提高對自己的認識、感受、需要和欲望。
青少年:Bhavna 幫助青少年應對青春期的挑戰,包括 24/7 線上狀態帶來的壓力、對學校/考試/朋友的焦慮、抑鬱、不足感和成癮。 Bhavna 也為青少年提供輔導,以釋放他們的潛力、動力和自信,並幫助他們實現自己的目標。
Bhavna 的風格是協作、熱情、關係密切且不批判。她認為與治療師的信任和連結是成功治療的重要組成部分。她的目標是透過綜合方法提供文化敏感度、同理心和基於力量的心理治療。她主要以客戶為中心,結合接納與承諾療法、靜觀原則、依戀理論、敘事療法、認知行為療法和辯證行為療法等技術,以滿足每個客戶的獨特需求。
除了治療工作外,Bhavna 還與 Mind HK 合作,透過在工作場所開發和提供心理健康急救培訓來減少對心理健康問題的羞恥感。在成為治療師之前,Bhavna曾從事投資銀行、電視新聞和市場研究工作。她擁有與不同背景的人有豐富的工作經驗,曾在孟買、紐約、倫敦和三藩市工作。
