Publisher's Summary

In the perennial favorite Boundaries, Anne Katherine introduced the concept and importance of personal limits. In Where to Draw the Line, she takes the next step with a practical guide to establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries in a wide range of situations. With every encounter, we either demonstrate that we'll protect what we value, or that we'll give ourselves away. Healthy boundaries preserve our integrity. Unlike defenses, which isolate us from our true selves and from those we love, boundaries filter out harm.

This audiobook provides the tools and insights needed to create boundaries, which will free time and energy for the things that matter - and helps break down limiting defenses that stunt personal growth. Focusing on every facet of daily life - from friendships and sexual relationships to dress and appearance to money, food, and psychotherapy - Katherine presents case studies highlighting the ways in which individuals violate their own boundaries or let other people breach them. Using real-life examples, from self-sacrificing mothers to obsessive neat freaks, she offers specific advice on making choices that balance one's own needs with the needs of others.

Now part of my top 5 game changing books

This book has taught me the true value of boundries in a practical way I been searching for in countless other resources. An unexpected treasure that I also found invaluable in this book was the raw, specific acknowledgement of abuse not commonly brought to light. It spoke to the lesser known or talked about abuse such as emotional neglect, psychological control, erosion of self. All crucial yet notoriously difficult to see or put ones finger on as a brutal form of abuse. To have tools to protect myself from such abuse now is something I know has shifted my course in life. Thank you so much for such an incredible book.

Good Content

Good content with highly affected and emotive narration. Some recommended responses are just too mushy to be realistic for many adults, which combined with the affected narration is melodramatic.

A grounded reference guide for boundaries.

Each chapter is complete enough that they can be listened to independently, if some of the sections don't apply to you. Useful examples. Excellent narration. I learned how to identify and set a few new boundaries!
