How To Set Boundaries
|
|
As a Master Hypnotherapist and Emotional Resiliency Coach, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients break free from the emotional baggage that holds them back. And time and again, one key issue consistently comes up: boundaries.
We all know we need them, but let’s be honest—many of us struggle to set them. Too often, we see boundaries as barriers that create distance, but in reality, they’re meant to be the glue that holds our relationships together and helps them thrive. In fact, if you show me a relationship that’s struggling, I’ll show you one where healthy boundaries are likely missing. That’s exactly why I wrote this book. I want to change the way we think about boundaries. This book isn’t just a guide—it’s an invitation to reclaim your power, redefine what it means to be ‘Nice,’ and start living a life that truly reflects Who You Are. If you’re ready to step into your authentic self and set boundaries that strengthen your connections rather than strain them, this book is your roadmap to a more empowered, fulfilling life. |

Notable Book Quotes:
"The reality is, you were never meant to just "get over it" or push down your emotions indefinitely. Your emotional experiences are a vital part of Who You Are, and denying them isn’t an option.
"We tend to think that love can only come from our relationships with others, but there’s so much more to it than that. In fact, if you’re only relying on friends and family to feel loved, you’re missing out on a big piece of the puzzle."
"The reality is, people are allowed to be obnoxious, ignorant, know-it-all jackasses, and nothing you say or do will ever truly change that. Setting boundaries with the expectation that the other person will change is a recipe for disaster and will always lead to conditional relationships and passive-aggressive communication cycles that erode trust and connection."
"At their core, boundaries are about understanding your own wants, needs, and desires, and then expressing them in a way that empowers both you and the other person. They are about building a bridge that connects you to others, honoring both Who You Are and Who They Are as well."
"If you notice that the more you speak your truth, the more your relationships seem to suffer or drift away, it might mean you've unintentionally created conditions instead of boundaries.
"Anger is your own internal alarm that lets you know when your needs are not being met or when someone is crossing your boundaries. It lets you know it’s time to say something and stand up for yourself.
"Hearing someone speak up without malice or defensiveness is beautiful; seeing someone honor their needs without engaging in power struggles is inspiring.
"Believe it or not, there’s an art and a science to speaking your truth and simply dumping your thoughts onto others isn’t authenticity; it’s chaos, and it will drive people away. Boundaries are what give your truth a framework, so it can be communicated in a way that is respectful and compassionate without having to resort to being ‘Nice’.
"Think of your boundaries as a two-way street. While, yes, they keep out negativity and protect you from getting hurt, they also create a space for good things to come into your life—like compliments, affection, love, and support."
"Your purpose, therefore, is simple: to shine your light so bright that it ignites the light in others."
