A boundary is often described as a line other people must not cross. That framing causes most of the trouble, because you cannot control what other people do. What you can control is your own response. A workable boundary is therefore a statement about your behaviour: “If meetings run past six, I will leave at six,” not “People must stop booking late meetings.”
Boundaries come in a few broad types: time (when you are available), energy (what you take on), emotional (what you will discuss and how), physical (space and touch) and material (money and belongings). Most difficulties cluster in one or two of these, so it is worth noticing which ones are under strain for you.
What’s inside
7 chapters, each ending with practical steps, plus 2 worksheets · 12 pages.
What a Boundary Actually Is
A boundary is a decision about what you will do, not a rule for other people.
Why Saying No Feels So Hard
The discomfort is predictable, and naming its source makes it smaller.
Deciding Before You Are Asked
Priorities set in advance make refusals almost automatic.
The Pause
Never answer a significant request on the spot.
How to Say No Well
Short, warm, clear and without a false opening.
Saying No at Work
Renegotiate priorities instead of quietly absorbing more.
Holding the Line
What to do when people push back.
Plus the worksheets:
