Do you struggle to say “no” to people in your life? Or, do you feel guilty when you have said “no"? Or maybe there are people in your life who expect you to give and give and give, yet they hardly ever reciprocate.
This book, Boundaries, by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, is a classic - with over 10 million copies sold. That’s saying a lot! It is a must-read for anyone doing work to repair their ability to set boundaries.
Dr.’s Cloud and Townsend break down the concept of applying “boundaries” in relationships - an idea that is really easier said than done! However, the Dr.s provide plenty of real-life examples to help the reader understand how to apply the principles in their own lives.
Please note, this book was written by Christian authors and does contain some religious content, so it might not be a good fit for some of my clients. However, if you are able to read it and apply the parts that make sense for you, regardless of regardless of your religious or lack-of-religious affiliation, there is enough quality content that I think you will still get a lot of value out of the book.
