Overview

"Master the art of setting boundaries, incorporating consequences, and addressing emotions and behaviors that sabotage your well-intended goals. Why does setting boundaries sometimes feel selfish to me? How can I become kinder to myself? Why don't those around me understand my need for boundaries? Why am I uncomfortable with saying no? These are the questions we often ask ourselves, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and in desperate need of boundaries. So, where do you start? When you are afraid of setting boundaries, you tend to stay in unhealthy, toxic relationships and remain in jobs you dread. You might find yourself apologizing to others when you have done nothing wrong. One part of you yearns for self-established boundaries to break free from the cycle of anger, resentment, and destructive relating, while another part of you wrestles with the idea that establishing boundaries is seen as wrong. When boundaries are absent, the clear lines in a relationship can become fuzzy, triggering default behaviors such as ""going along to get along."" In the interactive, practice-informed book The Four Essential Pillars of Boundary Settings, Catherine G. Cleveland, a PhD-trained Licensed Mental Health Counselor and author, addresses the four essential pillars of setting boundaries: identifying values, setting boundaries, incorporating consequences, and addressing emotions, behaviors, and self-sabotage. The book is designed to be written in because the act of writing has a profound impact on the brain's plasticity, influencing various cognitive processes and neural pathways by tapping into thoughts and feelings that we may have been avoiding for most of our lives. Establishing and maintaining healthy, personalized boundaries is crucial for your self-respect, self-confidence, and mental health, as well as for cultivating kind and caring interpersonal relationships. Setting boundaries is an ongoing and lifelong practice that involves clearly communicating your needs, desires, and limits first with yourself and then with others. Without boundaries, your life is likely to be marked by persistent anger and resentment towards others, along with a lack of self-respect. Intentional and purposeful effort toward any desired change is essential for happiness, contentment, and healthy interpersonal relationships. This empowering instructional guide will help you discover your self-worth and authenticity by mastering the art of setting meaningful boundaries."
