Boundaries

I am going through a nasty divorce & since the split I have had alot of questions surfacing that I never thought about before. I wondered why & what went wrong in the relationship why I blamed myself!! I have been in relationships before that ended, but this was different a commitment of marriage, a man I took vows with, someone I thought I would spend the rest of my life with, so when I found that our marriage was over I was devastated!!! My whole world & everything I/we built for our "supposed" future gone "poof"..I wanted answers so I started searching for them within myself, because I didn't want to find myself in the same situation in the future. I recommend this book, because it is a clear insight of how we all live to please others, or how we always excuse other people's behavior or comments that hurt us!! We have been taught for generations that we are to put up with hurtful comments, inappropriate touching, we are made to feel guilty, or shamed, or were bullied into doing things for others that we do not want to do, but history & family tells us we have to..!! We have been taught to accommodate others, we have learned to put others needs above OUR OWN, to SACRIFICE OURSELVES for others. Whether it be for the sake of the family or for your boss or neighbor we all do it.. I highly suggest this book if your searching for answers to prevent yourself from further harm by others. I highly suggest this book if you want to better YOURSELF not someone else. This book has so many situations I can relate to, I wished I had read this book when I was younger, it would have helped me be more aware & it would have helped the decisions I made when I was raising my daughter, I could have done so many things differently! This book IS AMAZING it will help you learn who you are(not neg views from others), what you like about yourself, that setting a personal space for yourself from harm is OK!! That inappropriate invasions of your space from others or of any kind is NOT alright!! Especially protecting your emotional boundary it is the best sense of self!! If something doesn't feel right, THEN IT'S NOT RIGHT!! JUST KNOW WHETHER YOU READ THIS BOOK OR NOT IT IS OK TO SET BOUNDARIES FOR YOURSELF & OTHERS..

This is the first book of Anne Katherine, M.A. on boundries and it really helped me to understand what boundaries were. I always failed on maintaining healthy boundaries because I didn't have a clear understanding what they were, why they were important, and how to have them respected.... recognizing your boundries is the most important part in learning to set healthy ones! Once I was able to understand what a boundary was, I was able to set clear boundaries and ask that they be respected. The second book in this series, "Where to Draw the Line: How to Set Healthy Boundaries" by Anne Katherine M.A. really helped bring all of that home. Its hard work, but so worth it. If you're tired of being a doormat this is the first step.

This book is so interesting and helped me to learn a lot. It helped me heal wounds I didn’t know I had and made me cry in multiple parts. It’s taught me so much I didn’t know. Really helped make eveything click and helped me understand so much. It’s written well and is easy to follow and includes lots of case studies followed by write ups to help you to see things deeper. Thank you for such an excellent book
