Where to Draw the Line: How to Set Healthy Boundaries Every Day, by Anne Katherine With every encounter, we either demonstrate that we’ll protect what we value or that we’ll give ourselves away. Healthy boundaries preserve our integrity. Unlike defenses, which isolate us from our true selves and from those we love, boundaries filter out harm.This book provides the tools and insights needed to create boundaries so that we can allow time and energy for the things that matter—and helps break down limiting defenses that stunt personal growth.
The last six months have been challenging to say the least. It may be time to establish new boundaries for your “new normal.” When life gets chaotic, it’s usually a sign that our boundaries have been trampled on. If you need a fresh start, check out these books.
