Quotes by John Townsend (?)

“Emotions, or feelings, have a function. They tell us something. They are a signal....Anger tells us that our boundaries have been violated. Much like a nation's radar defense system, angry feelings serve as an "early warning system" telling us we're in danger of being injured or controlled.”
― Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend

“And healthy people love honesty. Normalizing truthfulness in your relationships is simply inserting your own realities into the conversation, the meeting, or the event.”
― John Townsend, Beyond Boundaries: Learning to Trust Again in Relationships
