The Better Boundaries Workbook
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 want to 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.
