This book is exactly what I needed. It’s practical, easy to read, and actually helps you understand why setting boundaries feels so hard—especially when guilt, anxiety, or fear of being alone kicks in. I loved the mix of real-life examples, reflection prompts, and tools you can apply right away. The section on emotional discomfort and how to deal with it really hit home for me. If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing or felt bad for saying no, this book is seriously worth picking up.

A useful resource to improve communication. Dr. Gilmore provides a variety of skills with steps to apply effective communication in given situations.
