Setting boundaries will set you free : the ultimate guide to telling the truth, creating connection, and finding freedom / by Levin, Nancy,1965-author.(CARDINAL)837108;
Own that it's you who's been crossing your boundaries -- Take your boundary inventory -- Conquer codependence -- Excavate your unconscious mind -- Get comfortable with short-term discomfort -- Envision your empowered future -- Write your scripts -- Choose your "beginner" boundaries -- Set your bottom-line boundary -- Repeat until free."Do you feel like a 'pushover'? Do you let other people make all the plans-letting them pick the movie, the restaurant, or the vacation destination? Does self-care feel selfish to you? And do you find yourself feeling resentful toward others because theydon't seem to take your needs into consideration? Can you relate? If the answer is yes, this is the book for you! In this book, master coach, teacher, and author Nancy Levin will help you establish clear and healthy boundaries. This isn't easy; many of usdon't want to 'rock the boat.' We assume setting boundaries will lead to conflict. And, unfortunately, by avoiding conflict and not setting limits, we tend to choose long-term unhappiness instead of short-term discomfort. This book includes exercises andpractical tools to help even the most conflict-averse, people-pleasing readers learn new habits. You'll learn how to recognize and take inventory of your boundaries, view your boundaries differently by creating a Boundary Pyramid, learn how to say 'no' effectively, and set your Bottom-Line Boundary. As your supportive guide, Nancy will show you how to gather the courage to live a life of 'boundary badassery.'"--

From self-care to we-care : the new science of mindful boundaries and caring from an undivided heart / by Quaglia, Jordan,author.; Siegel, Daniel J.,1957-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)351458;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Learn to balance and blend self-care with care for others through we-care, a science-backed compassion training that enhances personal and social well-being, promotes healthy boundaries, and offers a path of healing and growth"--"Too many of us are familiar with the burnout that can come from overextending ourselves for others. Self-care is often promoted as the solution to this imbalance, but there are growing concerns that an overemphasis on self-care is exacerbating interpersonal challenges, fraying the fabric of our communities, and diminishing our responsiveness to broader social issues. In a world where time can feel increasingly scarce, we find ourselves in a dilemma: should we prioritize ourselves or others? Yet as psychologist and compassion scientist Jordan Quaglia demonstrates, this choice is based on a false dichotomy. The emerging science and practice of we-care reframes the very concept of care as a social force that includes both self and other. Through personal stories, guided inquiries, practical social exercises, and insights from cutting-edge neuroscience, Quaglia offers a framework and toolset designed to help you find a more balanced way to express your innate sense of compassion. This holistic approach sparks transformative changes across your health, relationships, and work -- uplifting yourself and others while supporting a stronger, more connected society for us all."--

The joy of saying no : a simple plan to stop people pleasing, reclaim boundaries, and say yes to the life you want / by Lue, Natalie,author.(CARDINAL)884714;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-220) and index."Are you still playing a role you learned in childhood to please others, such as the Good Girl/Boy, the Overachiever, or the Helper? Though these kinds of roles may have gained us attention and affection, they prohibited us from becoming our true selves. People-pleasing--putting others ahead of ourselves to avoid something negative or to get something we want or need--runs rampant in our society. Saying yes when we should say no leaves us stuck in frustrating patterns. And when we don't say yes authentically, we say it resentfully, which leads to more problems than if we'd said no in the first place. The Joy of Saying No will help you identify your people-pleasing style and habits. A six-step framework then teaches you how to discover the healing and transformative power of no to establish healthier boundaries, foster more intimate relationships and fulfilling experiences, and reconnect with your values and authentic self."--
