Don't pressure yourself any longer, express your needs, and feel the freedom to truly be yourself! In theory, we all know that we should set healthy boundaries to achieve balance between work and our personal lives, to deal with toxic people, and to build proper relationships with partners, family, and friends.
But what exactly does "healthy boundaries" mean? And how can we say "no" and express our needs without hurting others? Therapist and interpersonal relationships expert Nedra Glover Tawwab helps us find answers to this issue.
With understanding and sympathy, she offers simple yet effective ways to establish healthy boundaries in every area of our lives. The techniques she suggests, based on the latest research and the most proven practices of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), help us define and express our needs clearly and without guilt, as well as identify the deeper issues hiding behind codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, and much more.
Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you avoid communication with people who might ask something from you? Do you have no time for yourself at all? Do you often dream of abandoning everything and disappearing? If you are experiencing any of these – or all of them together – then you urgently need boundaries in the relationships you have with those around you!
This book will help you discover and set them, so you can create better relationships and live a more complete, authentic, and joyful life!
