If you want to live your own life instead of someone else's, if you want your needs to be met and your relationships with others to work out, you must learn to set boundaries.
Many neglect boundaries for fear that others will stop loving and accepting us if we draw a line. We are terrified of angering or upsetting those around us. We are afraid of being abandoned and left alone. We believe that taking care of ourselves is selfish. That is why we sacrifice ourselves, maintaining a "bad peace": a false sense of harmony. This book is about how boundaries do not actually always lead to conflict.
It is about the fact that you have a right to boundaries regardless of what others want from you, and these boundaries can be drawn anywhere. You can compromise, you can negotiate, but you should not give up your most important principles.
For those who are used to pleasing others, who have become accustomed to the role of savior, benefactor, and problem-solver for others, the very thought of putting themselves first seems radical. But the truth, close and trusting relationships, and freedom—all of this will be revealed to you only when you put your own desires first, casting aside fears and doubts. By reading this book, you will learn how to do this. Who this book is for:
For those who want to build personal boundaries and start putting their own needs first.
For those who put others' desires and needs above their own and want to fix this situation.
For those in codependent relationships.
