I thought this book was really good and definitely gave me a lot to think about. It talks a lot about the “what, why, and how” of boundaries in all areas of life, and the stories were interesting.
But for me, it felt very situational. There were so many different examples that sometimes I had a hard time connecting them to my own life. I’d finish a chapter and think, “Okay, but how do I actually do this when I’m in the middle of the chaos with kids, work, and everything else?”
Overall, I liked it, but I feel like I still want something more practical that shows exactly how to put boundaries into play in everyday situations.
Set Boundaries, Find Peace is a must read for anyone that’s actively working to evolve, and create an inner peaceful world.
This is a boundary 101 book. There is also a companion workbook that helpful for clients who are learning or honing the skill of boundaries.
This book is a good read to understand more about boundaries and why is it important in life. There are many kind of boundaries that are a step towards feeling balanced and safe, it is a form of self love that is important.
I liked that there were chapters with information about therapy when it comes to solving certain unhealed trauma. But it felt a little too tiring with too many examples to read through. Going to the point would have been good.
Overall I learnt that saying no doesn't make us weak, it makes our boundaries stronger and firmer. Saying yes to myself and my needs are as good as saying no to others and claiming back my power.
