Drawing the Line Revised & updated edition
How Boundaries Can Protect Your Sanity
A psychologist's guide to boundary setting that explains why understanding where you end and other people begin is the key to staying sane in a world built to overwhelm you.

Drawing the Line is for anyone tired of carrying it all: the reader who says yes but mean no, who replays arguments at 3AM, who feels responsible for everyone's happiness but their own. Grounded in neuroscience and illustrated with stories from years of practice, this is a practical and humane guide to staying sane when everything around you seems designed to pull you apart.
