This work is for nurses who:

• struggle with making boundaries or knowing which boundaries to make

• are tired of the worry, friction, resentment, and second-guessing that come when boundaries don't fit the moment

• welcome the opportunity to connect with colleagues through relational learning: case studies, peer discussion, and guided reflection

• need a practical framework and tools they can use right away to protect what they need while moving things forward

Topics include:

• The Boundary Context

• Definitive Boundaries and the Boundary Gradient

• The Line of Harm and Saying No Safely

• Yes as a Boundary, and Your Right to Say Yes to Yourself

• Supporting Your Yes with Enhanced Modifications

• Drafting Dynamic Boundaries

• Creating Goodwill with the Yes/No Strategy

At course end, participants will be able to:

• use the Boundary Gradient to quickly see when a definitive or flexible boundary might be needed

• use dynamic boundaries to proactively respond to complex situations

• use enhanced modifications to creatively move situations forward

• use the Yes/No Strategy to generate a culture of goodwill without sacrificing one’s own wellbeing.

Eva Papp is a licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, Washington State) with twenty-five years of clinical experience, specializing in integrative medicine, interpersonal neurobiology, and relational dynamics in clinical practice.

Across two and a half decades of treating clients, she developed a model of wellbeing based on the pursuit of authenticity — a model that teaches boundary-making as a skill of presence, discernment, and flexibility, grounded in awareness of self and context. Active Authenticity, her model, is the subject of her 2024 book Chasing the Wild Authentic, and informs her teaching with healthcare professionals.

Eva brings a multidisciplinary background to her teaching, including graduate fieldwork on non-Western models of healing and meaning-making, and a role as the psychotherapist on the NIH team that received the first IRB approval to study ayahuasca in clinical contexts. Her work integrates clinical and field research with a deep curiosity about how humans thrive — and what it takes to sustain that thriving across a long career.

Eva holds CE accreditation through the Ohio Nurses Association (OBN-001-91) and teaches public CE workshops for nurses.
