The Ultimate Survival Guide for Navigating Healthy Boundaries
Relationships can be absolutely exhausting. In her twenty years in the field and specifically as a licensed clinician, DePolo, has seen many individuals walk into her office feeling isolated, frustrated, and resentful due to the unhealthy relationships in their lives. In this simple guide, DePolo helps you examine the most important bonds in your life and teaches you how to draw boundaries to emotionally protect yourself.
Poor Boundaries can often be traced back to a single thought: to achieve happiness in your relationships, you need to take on others’ responsibilities. This is absolutely not the case. This belief will only lead to emotional burnout and long-term bitterness. DePolo knows because she has gone through exactly the same thing. She realized that sacrificing her own emotional stability was just making things worse.
DePolo guides you to similar revelations in this simple survival guide. Her work covers
how to identify boundaries,
how to spot the symptoms of boundary issues,
how to build new or better boundaries,
how to navigate changes in relationships, and
how to live a happier life.
At each step in the process, DePolo includes simple activities and writing prompts to help you think about the relationships in your own life and the best ways to repair your own boundaries.
