Relationships are supposed to be a source of happiness and peace of mind, but some relationships can cause stress and painful emotions. Sometimes you're dealing with someone who drives you crazy and you don't know how to react. Sometimes you want to stand up for yourself but hesitate, or you want to say no but are too shy. Perhaps you want to respond to hurtful criticism or insults but don't know how, or you're unable to stop manipulation or exploitation. In this book, we'll learn how to set boundaries and say no when necessary. You'll learn how to overcome the emotions that prevent us from setting boundaries, such as the fear of upsetting others or feelings of guilt. You'll learn how to let go of the beliefs that drive us to be overly kind and constantly self-sacrificing, and how to stop pleasing others at our own expense. Together, we'll learn how to defend our boundaries while maintaining our relationships without losing them or our inner peace.
