Course overview
The Eight Dimensions of Boundaries is a visual tool to make the invisible visible, a strategy not just for speaking but also for listening, and thereby addresses issues of hermeneutical justice. Through highlighting the overlap of boundaries’ psychological and concrete nature, the framework is a response to prescriptive actions that can harm when intending to aid. The tool emphasizes that all individuals are part of intersecting groups, communities and institutions, thus lifting out the limiting (and at times actively damaging) lens of individual psychopathology.
Learning Objectives:
Define boundaries through application of the multidimensional framework using the corresponding visual tool.
Identify ways in which trauma, identity (with a focus on gender), intersectionality and power influences boundary setting through the lifespan.

Anne Thompson, LPC is in full-time private practice specializing in trauma-specific treatment models for adults identifying with female/femme and gender-expansive experiences and presenting with a range of symptoms related to complex PTSD and dissociative disorders. A graduate of Antioch University New England (where she is now adjunct faculty), Anne has advanced training in working with the spectrum of trauma-related disorders ranging from single incident PTSD to complex trauma and dissociative disorders, and is trained in EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Ego State Therapy. Often in sessions she noticed herself using the phrase “Well, I don’t know what a sex therapist would say,” and therefore sought the answers through completing graduate training in sex therapy in 2023.
Outside of the therapy room, Anne can be found playing saxophone in a honk band, drawing and other bookmaking, as well as prioritizing pleasure that include food and sleep.
