Do you have trouble saying “no,” or constantly sacrifice your own needs to please others? If so, this evidence-based workbook will help you set healthy boundaries in all aspects of your life—without feeling guilty or afraid.

If you find yourself feeling responsible for others’ happiness, worrying about letting people down, or struggling to speak up for yourself, you probably have difficulty setting healthy boundaries. Establishing clear personal boundaries is essential to creating and nurturing mutually respectful relationships based on equality. Setting limits can also protect you from getting involved in exploitative relationships, and help you avoid toxic personalities who don’t have your best interests at heart.

This evidence-based workbook will show you how to set healthy boundaries across all aspects of life—without sacrificing your kindness or compassion for others. You’ll learn to define your boundaries and discover why they’re so important for your emotional well-being. You’ll also find a wealth of tips for maintaining boundaries in a “constantly-connected” world, strategies for what to do when people get upset or threatened by your assertiveness, and ways to make sure your needs are met.

If you’re tired of feeling guilty or afraid of putting your mental and physical health first, are ready to take back control of your life, and create healthy and balanced relationships, this book will show you how to step up and set limits, assert yourself confidently, and realize your full potential.

    I feel like this book was written for me! My siblings and I grew up in a home where one parent was an active alcoholic, the other probably borderline personality disorder. We were raised to be people-pleasers. Three of us married abusers. We did not know our own feelings and did not develop our own individuality. This book has given me a lot of help and hope. It's very practical and action-oriented. It contains many examples that help me understand the concepts. Setting boundaries is an essential life skill which many of us just never learned. My parents and grandparents never learned this either - they were also overwhelmed by the cycle of trauma and addiction. It would be wonderful if children could learn about this in school! We were sent out into the world without knowing how to set or enforce appropriate boundaries with other people. At 65 years of age I am learning how to take proper care of myself! I'm grateful for this wonderful book. It's a life-changer!

    I personally have set up bad boundaries for myself and it has taken years for me to figure them out. I was being used by so called "friends", my bosses, etc. all the time. This book really helped me to figure out more of them in an easier fashion than the way I was doing things. I also really needed and enjoyed the sections about children. I have a five year old who is already pushing boundaries as much as she can. This book is a great tool with so much useful information, be ready to take some notes and highlight areas along the way.

    The teaching portion is extremely readable and easy to comprehend. The questions solicit self-awareness and many opportunities for 'ah ah' moments. The CBT-orientation of the questions slowly helps you change your thinking and motivate you to change your behaviors. I am so impressed with this workbook, and look forward to recommending it to others.
