Setting boundaries will set you free : the ultimate guide to telling the truth, creating connection, and finding freedom /
Levin, Nancy,1965-author.
"Do you feel like a 'pushover'? Do you let other people make all the plans-letting them pick the movie, the restaurant, or the vacation destination? Does self-care feel selfish to you? And do you find yourself feeling resentful toward others because they don't seem to take your needs into consideration? Can you relate? If the answer is yes, this is the book for you! In this book, master coach, teacher, and author Nancy Levin will help you establish clear and healthy boundaries. This isn't easy; many of us don't want to 'rock the boat.' We assume setting boundaries will lead to conflict. And, unfortunately, by avoiding conflict and not setting limits, we tend to choose long-term unhappiness instead of short-term discomfort. This book includes exercises and practical tools to help even the most conflict-averse, people-pleasing readers learn new habits. You'll learn how to recognize and take inventory of your boundaries, view your boundaries differently by creating a Boundary Pyramid, learn how to say 'no' effectively, and set your Bottom-Line Boundary. As your supportive guide, Nancy will show you how to gather the courage to live a life of 'boundary badassery.'"--
