De: Inner Bloom

Narrado por: Brieanna Johnson

Learn how to set and maintain boundaries: Overcome fear of saying no, and improve self-esteem so you can stop being taken advantage of and start building meaningful friendships.

“You have to be able to set boundaries, otherwise the rest of the world is telling you who you are and what you should be doing.” (Oprah)

In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to create these boundaries. Inside, you’ll discover:

• The number one ingredient in any healthy friendship
• A closer look at what boundaries are (so you know what you’re working towards from the get-go)
• Five early warning signs of a toxic friendship (plus the serious red flag you don’t want to ignore)
• How you can tell if your friend is taking you for granted
• The different types of boundaries you need in order to create emotional safety in any relationship
• The reason it’s often so difficult to set boundaries – and how you can overcome this problem every time
• A clear 6-step guide to setting healthy boundaries (plus practical ways to navigate any guilt you feel along the way)
• Your guide to understanding why you feel responsible for your friends–and how you can tell where to draw the line
• What to do when your friend crosses your boundaries (and what the way in which they do so tells you about their personality)
• When it’s time to walk away… complete with practical guidance for doing so gracefully
• Reliable scripts and formulas you can use to help you set new boundaries
• Practical exercises with each chapter to help you create (and stick to) healthy boundaries

Every friendship is different, but healthy ones all have one fundamental thing in common: You should always feel safe enough to be yourself. If any of your friendships leave you feeling unsafe, drained, or constantly having to prove yourself, it’s a clear sign that you need to take another look at your boundaries. And with the right guidance by your side, you’ll find that it’s a lot easier than it sounds.

Great read

We can be pulled in so many directions in all of the different relationships in life to a point where some relationships can become draining instead of fulfilling. Setting Boundaries With Friends is a great tool to recognize the importance of boundaries and self care. Although this book focuses on friendships the principles can be applied to all relationships in creating a positive environment for everyone. I highly recommend.

Great addition!!!

Having boundaries is a way of having healthy meaningful relationships and not having ones that are toxic. The author explained how setting boundaries make you a better friend, how to recognize red flags that will endanger your friendship, how to express your value of the friendship and how knowing how to set boundaries with friends isn't about hurting feelings, it’s about respect. I really enjoyed how this book was lay out, it’s simple, well researched and educational. A great addition to any library.

Very good information

Young people especially can learn from this book. The author talks about boundaries between friends. It is good to communicate your expectations. If friends are needy or manipulative, and most of the giving is done by you, that is not a good thing. I love this saying - Saying no to others is saying yes to your needs. She talks about boundary pushers, judgmental, victim, and competitive friends, She mentions friends that enter your life "for a season for a reason". The author suggests to take a break from a friendship if there are major problems, to determine if the friendship can be salvaged.

Great Book!

Boundaries With Friends

Setting boundaries with friends can help us to feel a sense of structure around them. As a result, we feel emotionally safe if the boundaries are adhered to. It also gives us a clear sense of self. Boundaries help us to feel relaxed and to flourish with friends. Avoid emotionally draining friends. Losing myself in toxic male friendships was a common problem when I was a teenager. Now I understand why. This book will help you with setting boundaries and protecting yourself emotionally while creating healthy friendships for an uplifted life.
