Boundaries : Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend

My three lessons:

Boundaries are not built in a vacuum. We need bonding and support before we build boundaries.

Good boundaries prevent resentment. Giving is good. Make sure, however that it is the proper amount for your situation and resources.

You will begin to see that taking responsibility for yourself is healthy, and you will begin to understand that taking responsibility for other adults is destructive.
(pg. 305)

The goal is to have a character structure that has boundaries and that can set limits on self and others at appropriate times.
(pg. 310)

Consequences give some good barbs to fences. They let people know the seriousness of the trespass and the seriousness of our respect for ourselves.
(pg. 40)
