Boundaries

How to Recognize and Set Healthy Boundaries

By: Anne Katherine MA

Narrated by: Pam Ward

Have you recently walked away from a date or a conversation feeling uncomfortable or violated? Are you looking for ways to set limits with your spouse, kids, parents, or boss? This essential guide to setting and respecting boundaries is for anyone wanting to better understand themselves and others.

Just as a cut in our skin causes pain and injury, a breach of any of our physical, emotional, or sexual boundaries can be very harmful to our bodies and minds. We may need help to heal from past boundary violations, respect the boundaries of those around us, and learn how to set healthy limits for the future, particularly if we have a history of trauma, unhealthy relationships, addiction, or adverse childhood experiences. Drawing on decades of personal and professional experience as a therapist - as well as stories from others who have learned how to heal from serious boundary violations - Anne Katherine, MA, brings us an invaluable, foundational guide on the who, what, and why of boundaries.

With nearly 100,000 copies sold, Boundaries: Where You End and I Begin has already helped thousands of people stand up for themselves and nurture healthier relationship

Great overall

Enlightening and helpful. I like how it gave exercises to try throughout the book, and encouraged additional assistance in therapy.

Insightful

This is a great book for those abused as children. It shows how when boundaries are violated in childhood it ends up creating issues of lack of boundaries and/or enmeshment in adulthood.

Just wow.

My therapist tried to get me to read this for 10 years. Why oh why did I not do it sooner...I guess everything is in its perfect timing. This book literally changed me. It will in affect change the life of my children and so on. I had to reread several chapters and show down to digest. It was full of so much wholesome content. It also got my partner thinking. I recommend this to anyone and everyone.

This book changed my life

I wish I read this when I was an adolescent. Everyone needs to read this!!

A Great Help

This book is spectacular and does a great job of spelling out boundaries. Especially if you are looking for a book on boundaries that isn’t completely intertwined with religion.

I found the narration to be very comforting and personable. I don’t know what the other person was thinking when they said the narration ruined the book for them. Who hurt you?
