The Unspoken Boundaries® Story

The Path To Unspoken Boundaries

The culmination of 40 years of work, both personally and professionally in the area of personal boundaries and self-care, resulted in the creation of exercises to assist people in recognizing and setting healthy personal boundaries in their lives.

The beginnings of Unspoken Boundaries® saw such life-changing success stories so quickly amongst the small group of individuals who participated in the first workshop it became clear to Merle that these techniques needed to be organized and taught in a small group setting. What began as just a few meditations and exercises to help therapists reduce burnout and energy loss while remaining present and compassionate for their clients quickly evolved into a 7-hour, full-day, in-person workshop.

This workshop was designed to not only help therapists set proper personal boundaries with their clients through discovering the holes in their energetic boundaries but also have workshop participants act as energetic boundary ambassadors; therapists teaching their clients the same techniques learned in the workshop.

To properly lay the foundation of the Unspoken Boundaries® journey, ideologies and theories were borrowed from many schools of thought. Founder, Merle Yost dug deep into his history of exploration and training in psychology, energy psychology, and interpersonal dynamics to create the exercises and tools taught in the workshops.

The techniques and skills taught in the workshops are so profoundly life-changing that licensing and certification boards have accredited Mr. Yost’s workshops, meaning they have met the requirements necessary to award continuing education credit hours for various professions. There is a rigorous application process involved in becoming an accredited course, and to earn an accredited status these courses must have the scientific evidence to support the accreditations.

Finally, the workshops started their journey into the online market with the onset of COVID-19. Although challenging, Mr. Yost was able to pare down the initial 7-hour workshop into a series of shorter online-based workshops, the foundation class being the Sentinel Workshop.

Although originally based in California, now attendees from around the world benefit from the teachings of these workshops. The workshops are genuine, profoundly moving, and teach techniques proven invaluable to anybody struggling with their energetic boundaries.

Unspoken Boundaries® bring into the known what we have felt our entire lives but were not given the words to describe. The perspectives and tools learned in the workshop, allow people to be powerful stewards of their energy and life force. Energetic boundaries are easy to use when you learn how to use them.
