Shay’s favorite books on healthy boundaries

Boundary Power: How I Treat You, How I Let You Treat Me, How I Treat Myself by Mike S. O’Neil, Charles E. Newbold, Jr.

This workbook explains the concept of boundaries, helps readers learn how to identify unhealthy boundaries, and learn to set new, healthier boundaries on all levels. It doesn’t shy away from the tough questions, like “How have you violated someone’s boundary recently?” Although from a Christian perspective, and containing a full (and excellent) chapter on religious boundary violations, those of other persuasions–including atheists–could overlook the slight religious content and benefit greatly by working through the book.
