  • Boundaries – We will discuss and practice “how close is too close”; how to control and deescalate a situation before it gets out of hand; how to define your safety zone, and how to maintain it when needed; the strategies and tactics the bad guy will use to try to gain your trust, drop your guard, and get PAST your safety zone; how the socialization of women has led to the “be nice” syndrome, why this is a danger, and why and when it’s OK to NOT be nice!
