Requests, Boundaries and Reconnection: Essays

Someone asks for help, but you do not yet know what the whole request involves. Or you think of an old connection and wonder whether an invitation would be welcome. Requests, Boundaries and Reconnection explores the space between what is asked, what can honestly be offered and what another person has actually accepted.

Four connected ebook articles follow fictional everyday examples: an event list with a smaller agreed contribution, a message whose scope changes when relayed, an invitation that may be declined, and a plan or permission that later changes. They consider listening, privacy and practical responsibilities without assuming that every conversation ends in agreement.

The companion workbook offers questions about the request in front of you, an agreement or whether to reconnect. Its printable and fillable versions contain the same content. Eight individual image cards offer short reflections you can open like photos. Use the fictional situations, choose a question or skip one; a decision not to make contact is a complete choice.
