This therapist-recommended book can be a life-changing gift for yourself or someone you care about. Do you think you need better boundaries, but you don't know how to get them? Are you drifting through life, wishing others could read your mind? Maybe you've tried so many times to set boundaries and you're worn out, or you're giving your power away and avoiding confrontations. If that's the case, this is the book you'll wish you read years ago. Robert Jackman, best-selling author of Healing Your Lost Inner Child and a board-certified psychotherapist, gives you tools you can use right away to create healthy boundaries with your family, friends, and coworkers. Boundaries are the communication tools that few of us are taught, but all of us need. They're the guardrails that define where we end and someone else begins. Boundaries help us to have a sense of agency over our traumatic past so we don't keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. Through stories, practical techniques, and CBT exercises, you will learn: • How childhood trauma impacts your ability to set boundaries. • How to break free from codependent patterns that keep you stuck. • Clear boundary examples of what to say and how to say it. • Why overlooking red flags lets others violate our boundaries. • How strong boundaries shut down bullies, manipulators, and narcissists. • Why your gut is your first responder, your early warning system • Tools to help you create drama-free relationships. Some people have fuzzy boundaries that are not defined and are always shifting. Some are armored up, rigidly shutting others out. Clear boundaries help us gain the clarity to teach others how we want to be treated. It is wonderful to feel comfortable and safe in your own skin knowing that you have the boundary skills to protect your needs and create the life you desire. A simple no can be the key to your emotional freedom away from drama and toxic people. Find your courage and become the person you needed when you were growing up. Every boundary you set is key to helping your inner child heal so you can feel whole in your relationships.
