Boundaries are an important part of sexual and pornography addiction recovery. However, the concept of boundaries can be confusing.This workshop covered the following topics: 1) definition of boundaries, 2) three different types of boundaries in addiction recovery, 3) specific examples of boundaries that can be set with self, family/friends, and the addict, 4) a detailed explanation of how and when to implement boundaries with example language to use. Toward the end of the workshop, Dr. Moore responds to audience questions on boundaries.
