Summary

Break Free From Over-Functioning, Over-Delivering, People-Pleasing, and Ignoring Your Own Needs So You Can Finally Live the Life You Deserve!

Most of us were never taught how to effectively express our preferences, desires or deal-breakers。 Instead, we hide our feelings behind passive-aggressive behavior, deny our own truths, or push our emotions down until we get depressed or so frustrated that we explode, potentially destroying hard-won trust and relationships。

The most successful and satisfied people on the planet have one thing in common: the ability to create and communicate clear, healthy boundaries。 This ability is, hands down, the biggest game changer when it comes to creating a healthy, happy, self-determined life。

In Boundary Boss, psychotherapist Terri Cole reveals a specific set of skills that can help you stop abandoning yourself for the sake of others (without guilt or drama) and get empowered to consciously take control of every aspect of your emotional, spiritual, physical, personal, and professional life。

Since becoming a Boundary Boss is a process, Cole also offers actionable strategies, scripts, and techniques that can be used in the moment, whenever you need them。 You will learn:

• How to recognize when your boundaries have been violated and what to do next
• How your unique “Boundary Blueprint” is unconsciously driving your boundary behaviors, and strategies to redesign it
• Powerful boundary scripts so in the moment you will know what to say
• How to manage “Boundary Destroyers”—including emotional manipulators, narcissists, and other toxic personalities
• Where you fall on the spectrum of codependency and how to create healthy, balanced relationships

This book is for women who are exhausted from over-giving, overdoing, and even over-feeling。 If you’re getting it all done but at the expense of yourself, give yourself the gift of Boundary Boss。

This is a book aimed at women, because it seems (from personal experience) that women have a harder time setting boundaries。Right from an early age, many girls are taught to serve and to please, to accept that boys and men are more important and to put them first。 So we grow up as people pleasers。 Meanwhile boys are taught to get out in the world, to be adventurous。 They set their own boundaries。it's no wonder then that grown women struggle to set boundaries。 Even now, women are told that they c This is a book aimed at women, because it seems (from personal experience) that women have a harder time setting boundaries。Right from an early age, many girls are taught to serve and to please, to accept that boys and men are more important and to put them first。 So we grow up as people pleasers。 Meanwhile boys are taught to get out in the world, to be adventurous。 They set their own boundaries。it's no wonder then that grown women struggle to set boundaries。 Even now, women are told that they can multi-task and men can't: therefore they can do more, juggling busy jobs, kids, and housework, whereas men can only focus on one thing。 Whoever invented this lie (and I'm pretty sure it was a man!) needs a medal for "Excellence in Marketing" - selling women the story that they can do it all and have it all, leaving women exhausted trying to please everyone and themselves; while men get off lightly because they (poor things!) can't multi-task。 Leaving them more time to do what they want to do。This book addresses the fact that many women struggle to set boundaries, and gives you ideas on how to challenge your boundaries - not just the ones in your head: but how to challenge the boundaries that you have either set yourself with others or they have set for you and you have complied with。The author has personal experience of boundary issues, as well as being a psychotherapist and realising that most of her clients have boundary issues。Even if you think you set all of your own boundaries, you may have your eyes opened by this book - there are probably plenty of boundaries that you didn't set, and if you want them the change, by the end of this book you will have ideas of how to do it。 。。。more
