Quit Taking Things Personally

Do you find yourself easily triggered by other people’s words or reactions?

Do small comments linger longer than they should?

Do conflicts feel personal—even when you know they shouldn’t?

You’re not overly sensitive. You’re responding from learned patterns.

In Quit Taking Things Personally, Randy Boyd offers a compassionate, practical guide for anyone who wants to stop living in reaction mode and start responding with clarity, confidence, and emotional maturity.

Drawing from over 15 years of experience working with individuals and couples, Boyd explains why we take things personally—and how unhealed wounds, childhood experiences, people-pleasing, and fear of abandonment quietly shape our reactions in adulthood.

This book helps you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface and gives you tools to break free from emotional triggers that damage relationships and steal your peace.

Inside this book, you’ll discover how to:

• Understand why other people’s words affect you so deeply
• Recognize emotional triggers before they take over
• Stop people-pleasing and overexplaining
• Set healthy emotional boundaries without guilt
• Communicate clearly without defensiveness
• Heal the root causes behind emotional reactivity
• Respond instead of react in marriage and relationships
• Reclaim your voice, confidence, and emotional freedom

This isn’t a book about blaming others—or yourself.

It’s about understanding the why behind your reactions so real change can begin.

Whether you’re navigating marriage, family dynamics, friendships, or your own internal dialogue, Quit Taking Things Personally will help you move from emotional exhaustion to emotional strength.

If you’re ready to stop taking everything personally and start living with peace, clarity, and connection, this book is for you.
