A mental health clinician myself, I knew about boundaries and thought I understood their importance... WRONG! The health of boundaries is a lens through which you can view all discomfort. Learning about these many intersections made me a better therapist (chapter 6 is solutions-focused magic and I've already seen clients reap its rewards!). Healthy boundaries are based on self-awareness, not emotional baggage. You know your physical, mental and emotional capacity, and can communicate your needs and expectations clearly to balance intimacy and a healthy sense of self.

Here are several signs that you need clearer boundaries: Types of boundary violations, including (i) micro vs macro boundary violations, and (ii) 6 areas of violations (physical, sexual, intellectual, emotional, material, time); Karena pondasi itu pula, aku terbiasa mengatakan "tidak" & menyampaikan batasanku kepada kolega. Menolak pekerjaan yg melawan "moral compass" hingga menyatakan kalau nggak bisa "diganggu" di luar jam kerja memang terkesan arogan kalau nggak tahu cara menyampaikannya. Tapi, kalau kita nggak belajar buat "saying in the right tone", ya orang lain akan merasa bebas "to violate our boundaries."

It becomes very clear that such negotiations happen and discussions on boundaries should happen in these areas once you take into account the lived realities of many people in very different situations.

You’ve probably already heard that you’re supposed to set healthy boundaries in your relationships. But what does that actually mean? Set Boundaries, Find Peaceis a down-to-earth and practical guide on fully realizing your potential and giving yourself the freedom you deserve by clearly setting healthy boundaries in your personal and professional life, friendships, and relationships. Eye-opening and thoroughly engaging.” For example, one of the situations given were that someone's father had a drinking problem and consistently is verbally abusive and disruptive when he drinks at family events. The suggestion given was for the son to set the boundary for his father not to drink at family events. I am curious to know what else has been tried - some of which has been discussed in the example - but I would like to know if the father has sought help? Has the family decided that having an alcohol-free event might be helpful to his health, or just not inviting him to these events, and if so, what were the reasons for not employing these strategies instead? Is the father aware and pro-active in suggesting his own behavioural changes or not? How has this worked over time - were there lapses, did they use and discard strategies? Has anyone considered a more drastic boundary (like cutting him off) and what were some considerations and pains to that? Are there any safety issues such as retaliation or escalation of violence? Self-neglect: You prioritize others’ needs over your own, to the point your physical, mental, and emotional well-being suffers.

Well, reflect on a few questions for a moment. Do you frequently feel stressed, overwhelmed, or burned out by the amount of work you have to do? Do you find that you struggle to say no to requests from friends, family, and co-workers? Do you ever find yourself avoiding certain people that you just feel uncomfortable being around? You feel angry, frustrated and resentful of others’ requests because you feel underappreciated and exploited. Your anger might be directed inwardly (e.g. self-blame) or outwardly (e.g. tantrums or apathy) to hurt your relationships and mental health. Yes, because no one on Earth is forced to live and interact with their abusive parents or spouse or other relative because they can’t afford not to.There were also some examples that weren't egregious but were still telling people what to do. Tawwab says herself to state things with "I first" language, and I guess that only extends to the first word of the sentence lol. But I feel like there are ways to state your need without telling someone exactly what to do to meet that need. Like instead of saying "you can only drink three drinks," say "I want both of us to spend time together fully aware and in the moment" or "I don’t like hanging out with you when you are drunk." Yes, this leaves how to meet the boundary up to interpretation but shouldn't boundaries be a discussion about how two people can meet each other's needs? I feel like it should be a conversation, but Tawwab clearly feels that you should state your needs, not explain yourself, and deal with the fallout, which just seems so miserable to me. This book is clearly written for a very small subset of the population who are neurotypical, able-bodied, and financially well off who only interact with other neurotypical, able-bodied, and financially well off people. And while this book may even give some good advice to people like this, I cannot in good conscience recommend it because of the clearly individualistic and ignorant views the author so clearly holds and advocates for. Rigid boundaries are strict rules intended for self-protection. However, you may end up shutting people out, disregarding others’ needs and feelings, and isolating yourself. Signs include: distancing yourself, having unreasonable expectations, refusing to share or compromise even when it’s necessary. This is the boundary bible. Nedra teaches us not only how to set healthy boundaries but to be clear about our feelings and intentions. Finding peace requires showing up—Nedra has written the blueprint on how to not only show up but also do the work.” It’s better to face the short-term discomfort of setting boundaries, than to pay the long-term price of unhealthy and dysfunctional relationships. Understanding Boundaries Types of Boundaries

Dengan dugaan kalau aku akan menemukan cara menyampaikan batasanku & bagaimana kami mengelola batasan itu, ternyata buku ini melebihi ekspektasi. Nedra Glover Tawwab memberikan penjelasan yang bisa diaplikasikan dalam hubungan kerja dan keluarga (anak-orangtua). So, yes, setting boundaries can be uncomfortable. But, in the end, short-term discomfort is a small price to pay for having functional, long-term relationships.The best way to convey your needs is to be assertive. State your needs respectfully, clearly, and precisely, keeping your tone calm and your language simple. Use statements that begin with “I need,” “I want,” “I expect,” or “I would like.” Don’t offer any reasons for the boundary nor apologize for it. Admittedly, many of these boundaries are coded into the culture, like personal space, so it shouldn't be necessary to state them. However, other boundaries are more individual, and these are the ones we need to communicate. For example, when meeting someone for the first time, you might have to let them know that you’re more of a hand-shaker than a hugger. Boundaries, then, are about standing up for yourself. Having healthy boundaries means being able to count on the people in your life to treat you in a manner that you’re comfortable with. Don’t ignore their requests when they say things like: “Can you stop saying nasty things about Mum?” or “Why are you always on your phone when we talk?” Set boundaries respectfully with your family members, including: parents, in-laws, siblings, and children.
