Eric Amaya’s Reviews > Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself > Status Update

I liked where this book talked about self betrayal and identity. How some days we honor our boundaries and some days we do not. The portion where it talked about how we cannot change people but we can change how we deal with them and accept is also something I agree with.

The story is going on about a man who had no boundaries with his money and was living paycheck to paycheck but kept buying things out of his range and living above his means.

I read while Jeff complaining I learned all the different ways someone develops trauma from boundary violations

Memories and trauma can lead to
Someone putting up walls and having a closed mindset preventing them from finding happiness or never resolving previous issues

Passive aggressive boundary setting is just acting out without saying why and manipulating is using the other person without them know how they’re being used.

What story out most of the guilt tripping of other parties to get you to do what they want to do, a sign of boundary pushing and not respecting what you had decided. Having to make the conversation about you again with “I” statements

People do not have to like agree or understand your boundaries to respect them.

These are the answers to the exercise on page 65. My parents never really taught me too many boundaries. Some things were like you don’t have to interact with people you don’t like, but then I also had no say in what I ate and would be shunned for being picky. I think the biggest issue with setting boundaries is just feeling guilty in doing so. As if it’s bad to say no to someone or not want to help.
