Great tools to help set boundaries

This book explains really well what boundaries are, we get multiple examples of what breaking boundaries or setting boundaries are. The narrator was however not good with pronunciation, has an accent and says "aks" instead of "ask" and that kept bugging me, so I wish the book was read by a professional instead. The book itself however is really great and I can really recommend it! I love it. It's thorough throughout and you can tell that the author understands and has a vast knowledge about the subject.

A Very important book.

Finding freedom in setting boundaries I wish was on the national curriculum, I will be passing on what I didn’t know & have learned in this book & hope to model to my child.

Fabulous book

Brilliantly written, clear, concise, practical, helpful. Really useful scripts and suggestions. I also felt empowered and reassured about my boundary setting. Thank you Nedra.

Really brilliant and easy to follow

This is a very helpful guide to boundaries. I follow the writer on Instagram and she's the therapist I wish I had! Highly recommended book and will be very useful to me from now and going forward.

Extremely helpful, insightfil & provides practical advice

Loved the exercises and challenge to the way we think about saying 'no' whenever we do not feel like doing something. it is also helpful with tips as to setting boundaries with everyone, compared to building walls which are indiscriminate. All boundaries differ according to the person you are dealing with, this book has helped me to contemplate on this further and become more comfortable to be assertive.

Read About Myself in Chapter One

Honestly can’t praise this book enough. Nedra has helped me recognise the impact poor boundaries has had on my relationships, and the part I played in relationships that have been lost. For context, I got a full house on pourous boundaries. I’m a chronic people pleaser and worrier. I kept stopping the audiobook to go apologise to my husband, haha! This book has helped me to be more assertive and say what’s on my mind, though I don’t always get the delivery right! I need to do more work on myself, particularly around finding the line between assertion vs aggression, but I can recognise where in past conversations I made a demand instead of a request, or didn’t set a boundary at all and only hinted at what I wanted in hopes my husband picked up on it. Definitely going to give it another listen, but first I’m going to work through Nedras exercise book that goes hand in hand with this one. My husband says my communication has gotten much better since listening to Nedra. I’m more likely to remain calm during a disagreement while stating what I want, rather than angrily expressing frustration or inwardly spiralling about how my marriage is falling apart because we are fighting. I’m not perfect and still have a lot to learn, but this was an excellent and much needed journey. Thank you x
