About this audiobook

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 book 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.

    Insightful text that draws ones attention to breaches and vexations to ones very person that were formerly hidden because one was ignorant of what personal boundaries were. As alluded to in the last chapter, it is important to guard ones psychological boundaries for mental peace and personal growth and development.

    A little too much feminism for my liking. Still worth a read/listen though. So far most boundaries books are a little too religious or feminist for my liking. This one is no exception.
