Burnout Boundaries Breakthrough:
Trauma-Informed Boundaries Coaching for High-Capacity Women
You are not bad at boundaries.
You are highly capable, deeply responsible, and exhausted.
Burnout Boundaries Breakthrough is a trauma-informed group coaching intensive for women who are done overfunctioning, done explaining themselves into collapse, and ready to build clear limits that actually hold under pressure.
You may already know what a healthy boundary is.
That is not the problem.
The problem is what happens in the moment you need one most.
When someone is disappointed.
When guilt spikes.
When your body says, keep the peace, don’t make this harder, just handle it yourself.
That is where this work begins.
Small-group. Application-based. Limited to 6 women to protect depth, fit, and emotional safety. Led by Courtenay Collins, LCSW. 25 years in trauma recovery.
Exhaustion that looks functional
Resentment you barely let yourself feel
Overcommitting and then scrambling
Apologizing for basic needs
Feeling responsible for everyone’s emotional state
Knowing the script but not being able to use it
Irritable and impatient with others
Feeling like you’ve lost yourself
What It Feels Like Now
What Becomes Possible
Cleaner decisions
Clearer communication
Steadier energy
Less guilt-driven reactivity
More capacity for rest and discernment
Boundaries that hold when pressure rises
Calmer and more peaceful interactions
Feeling like yourself again
Recovery and prevention of burnout
What changes inside Burnout Boundaries Breakthrough?
This is not about becoming rigid.
It is about becoming solid.
Inside this intensive, you will learn how to:
identify your specific boundary collapse patterns
recognize guilt, urgency, and over-responsibility in real time
regulate your nervous system before people-pleasing takes over
communicate limits clearly without overexplaining
tolerate discomfort without abandoning yourself
make values-based decisions with less second-guessing
stop carrying what is not yours
rebuild self-trust through repetition, not theory
You function well while feeling awful.
Burnout Boundaries Breakthrough helps you work with the pattern underneath the pattern so you can stop self-abandoning in the exact moments that matter most.
From the outside, you look competent, reliable, generous, and together.
You are the one people trust. The one who remembers. The one who handles things. The one who keeps the wheels on.
But internally, it costs more than anyone sees.
You say yes when you mean no.
You overexplain simple limits.
You carry emotional labor you never agreed to.
You anticipate needs before they are spoken.
You resent how much you hold, then feel guilty for resenting it.
You know better, but in real time, your boundaries still disappear.
Not because you are weak.
Not because you lack insight.
And not because you need another podcast, worksheet, or reminder to “choose yourself.”
It is because under pressure, your nervous system defaults to the patterns that once helped you stay connected, needed, safe, or in control.
That is why insight alone has not changed it.
Why your boundaries collapse under pressure?
You do not have a knowledge problem.
You have an integration problem.
Many high-capacity women have spent years becoming excellent at functioning while disconnected from their own limits. They are praised for being dependable, emotionally aware, productive, and selfless. But underneath that competence is often a chronic state of over-responsibility.
So even when you intellectually know:
this is too much
this is not mine
I need to say no
I do not owe a full defense of my decision
…your body still reads the moment as risky.
That is why you freeze.
Fold.
Overexplain.
Cave.
Then replay the whole thing later, wondering why you did it again.
This intensive is designed to change that.
Not through shame.
Not through performance.
Not through becoming colder, harder, or less generous.
Through trauma-informed coaching, nervous system regulation, and real-world practice, you build the internal steadiness to make clean decisions and stay with yourself when someone else does not like them.
The Burnout Boundaries Breakthrough Intensive
What’s included in this coaching intensive
A 6-week trauma-informed coaching experience for high-capacity women ready for implementation, not just insight.
This is a premium, high-touch container for women who want concentrated change.
It is intentionally small.
It is interactive.
And it is built for real life.
Program Includes
4-Day Live Virtual Intensive
Four immersive days of live coaching to help you understand your boundary patterns, stabilize your nervous system, and identify where your energy, clarity, and self-trust are leaking.
Five hours of live coaching daily. 20 hours of direct work with Courtenay before week one of group calls even begins.
6 Weekly Group Implementation Calls
This is where the work gets practical. You will bring real situations, rehearse hard conversations, and build the muscle of holding your center under pressure.
"Boundary Lab" rehearsal sessions where you practice hard conversations in real time and get coached through the exact moments where you usually freeze.
3 Private 1:1 Strategy Sessions
Personalized support to help you apply the work to your specific relationships, decisions, and high-stakes limits.
60 minutes each, scheduled every other week, applied to your specific high-stakes relationships.
Digital Tools + Lifetime Access
Scripts, reflection tools, and regulation audios you can return to whenever life shifts and you need support re-centering.
The Hard Conversation Kit (script library for partners, family, work, high-conflict dynamics). Message Review Support — direct feedback on drafted texts and emails before you hit send.
Because boundaries do not change in theory.
They change through repetition, practice, support, and nervous system-level integration.
You do not need more information.
You need a container that helps you implement what you already know in the moments where you usually lose yourself.
Why This Format Works
Application takes 4 minutes. No obligation. We respond within 48 hours.
trauma-informed coaching
nervous system support
practical boundary implementation
live coaching and real-time feedback
conversation rehearsal
emotionally honest, high-level work
In this program, we do:
shame you for struggling
offer vague empowerment language
overload you with passive content
teach performance-based “healing”
push rigid scripts that collapse under stress
pretend insight alone creates change
In this program, we don’t:
This is not generic boundary advice
WHO IT’S FOR
This is for you if…
you are highly competent but chronically depleted
people experience you as capable, but you feel stretched thin underneath
you carry too much emotional labor in relationships, family, or work
your boundaries sound clear in private and collapse in real time
you are tired of resentment, guilt, and overfunctioning
you want practical, deep, trauma-informed coaching that respects your intelligence
This is probably not the right fit if…
you want a passive course with minimal engagement
you are looking for therapy, diagnosis, or mental health treatment
you are not willing to practice change in real time
you want generic empowerment language instead of grounded, honest work
Why work with Courtenay Collins
“You don’t need more pressure. You need a way to build boundaries that works when your body and mind is stressed and your life is full.”
25 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Specialist in sexual and spiritual trauma recovery. Senior Master Coach. The clinical depth most coaches don't have — applied to the implementation gap most therapists don't address.
This work is not just about learning what to say.
It is about what happens inside you when a boundary risks disappointment, tension, disapproval, or disconnection.
Courtenay Collins brings deep trauma-informed expertise to this work, along with a practical understanding of how boundary patterns form, why they persist, and what it takes to change them in real life.
Her approach is grounded, direct, psychologically sophisticated, and built for women functioning under real pressure, not ideal conditions.
That matters because most women who need this work are not lacking insight.
INVESTMENT
A premium investment in your capacity, clarity, and self-trust
If you are a high-capacity woman, you already know what it costs to keep living this way.
Not just financially.
Energetically.
Relationally.
Physically.
The cost shows up as chronic resentment, overcommitment, invisible labor, decision fatigue, and burnout that looks “fine” from the outside.
This program is designed for women who are ready to stop waiting for life to calm down before they get support.
Because for many high-capacity women, “later” is where self-abandonment keeps hiding.
Investment Options
Pay in Full $6,500
2-Pay $3,350 x 2
6-Pay $1,165 x 6
The Integration Guarantee: If you actively participate in every session and complete the work but don't feel a meaningful shift in your boundary-setting confidence, you receive a complimentary 90-minute 1:1 integration session at no additional cost.
Comparable 1:1 trauma-informed coaching with a 25-year LCSW: $300–$500 per session. Burnout Boundaries Breakthrough includes 4 days of live intensive, 6 group calls, 3 private 1:1 sessions, and lifetime access — for less than the cost of 90 days of weekly therapy that doesn't move this fast.
Applications are reviewed for fit to protect the quality and integrity of the group.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this therapy?
1
No. This is a coaching and educational intensive focused on implementation, boundaries, nervous system regulation, and self-trust. It is not psychotherapy and not a substitute for diagnosis or mental health treatment.
I already understand boundaries. Will this still help?
2
Yes. This program is for women who already have insight but struggle with implementation under pressure. The focus is not just knowing what to do. It is building the capacity to actually do it.
What if I’m already in therapy?
3
This can complement therapy well because it offers focused coaching, live practice, and real-world implementation around boundaries and overfunctioning.
I’m extremely busy. Is this too much?
4
This work is designed for women with full lives and high responsibility. The point is not to add more pressure. The point is to reduce the patterns that are draining you every day.
Why is the group capped at 6 women?
5
Because depth, safety, and meaningful support matter. A smaller group allows for more individualized attention, stronger trust, and more real-time coaching.
This is best for women who are highly capable, emotionally aware, and ready to actively practice change. The application process helps protect the emotional safety and fit of the container.
