About This Course
Your Struggles, Solved
Setting boundaries isn't just about saying "no"—it's about creating the space where authentic intimacy and self-respect can thrive together.
You're likely facing:
- Fear of Rejection - You worry that expressing your needs will push partners away or cause them to respond with anger or disappointment.
- Boundary Confusion - You struggle to distinguish between true boundaries (about your behavior) and rules you try to impose on others.
- Pushback Paralysis - When someone challenges your boundaries, you often cave in or become defensive rather than standing firm with compassion.
This course teaches you how to articulate boundaries that honor both yourself and your relationships. You'll learn practical techniques for responding to resistance while maintaining your stance. By mastering the art of setting and receiving boundaries, you can create more authentic connections where both partners feel respected and heard.

Tuck Malloy
Holistic Sex Educator
Tuck Malloy is a Certified Holistic Sex Educator and Relationship Coach specializing in boundary-setting and authentic connection. As the founder of IntraSensual Education, they've developed evidence-based techniques that have helped students achieve 90%+ improvements in confidence and boundary articulation. Their Fear-to-Confidence Framework and Resistance Response Toolkit are particularly recognized for transforming relationship dynamics.
Tuck's boundary work grew from recognizing how traditional relationship models often constrain authentic expression and intimate pleasure. After witnessing many relationships falter due to unclear boundaries—including their own early experiences—they developed a compassionate approach that balances protection with vulnerability. This journey led to their revolutionary perspective that healthy boundaries aren't just about saying "no," but about creating spaces where genuine connection can flourish without compromising self-respect.
Tuck's teaching style transforms complex boundary concepts into accessible daily practices through their unique blend of technical precision and emotional intelligence. They create judgment-free learning environments where students master the distinction between boundaries and rules, while developing practical scripts for compassionate assertion. By balancing theory with immediate application, Tuck ensures students develop both the confidence and practical skills to implement changes right away.
Course FAQ
Absolutely! This course is designed for all experience levels, from boundary beginners to those looking to refine their skills. Tuck Malloy created a step-by-step approach that starts with fundamentals and builds gradually, so you won't feel overwhelmed if you're new to intentional boundary setting. The Fear-to-Confidence Framework specifically addresses the challenges newcomers face.
This course focuses specifically on compassionate assertion - setting boundaries while maintaining connection. You'll learn practical scripts and the exact language patterns that express your needs without creating defensiveness in your partner. The Resistance Response Toolkit gives you ready-to-use strategies for navigating pushback with grace rather than escalating tension.
While partner participation can enhance the experience, this course is designed to be effective even when taken independently. The boundary techniques you'll learn focus on your own responses and communication style, which can positively impact your relationship regardless of your partner's participation. Many students report that their improved boundary clarity naturally inspires partners to become more receptive and respectful.
Many students notice immediate shifts in their confidence levels after learning the distinction between boundaries and rules. The full integration of these skills typically develops over 2-4 weeks of practice as you implement the Boundary Check-In Practice in real-life situations. Remember that boundary setting is a skill that strengthens with consistent application, and Tuck's approach emphasizes sustainable, long-term changes rather than quick fixes.
Unlike approaches that focus solely on saying "no," Tuck's method uniquely balances boundary setting with authentic connection. The Healthy "Yes" Framework distinguishes this course by teaching you not just when to decline, but how to recognize when saying "yes" serves your genuine desires rather than people-pleasing tendencies. This balanced perspective creates space for both protection and vulnerability - essential elements for deepening intimacy.
This course directly addresses "Pushback Paralysis" through practical techniques that prepare you for challenging moments. The Compassionate Assertion Scripts give you ready-to-use language for those moments when you typically freeze, while the step-by-step confidence-building exercises help reprogram your nervous system's response to confrontation. You'll develop both the mental clarity and emotional resilience needed to stay grounded when setting boundaries.
Definitely! While the course examples often focus on intimate partnerships, the boundary principles and communication techniques apply to all relationships in your life. Students regularly report success applying these approaches with family members, friends, and even professional relationships. The Boundary vs. Rule Distinction and Resistance Response Toolkit are particularly valuable in any context where you need to advocate for your needs.
