Great
The scrips she offers are helpful, and the range of scenarios, although a little repetitive, really allow you to become familiar with her strategies. I wish I had read this years ago!

Clear and actionable advice - lacks humanness
I liked the clarity of this book, and the fact it contains actionable advice. However, I would be very wary of taking the advice too literally as the book is full of “political correctness” in terms of what is “right” behaviour. It also takes a purely “mechanical” approach, without at all going into the human side of things, therefore missing out on how to understand our true needs, and therefore what would constitute healthy boundaries to protect those needs, rather than unhealthy walls or avoidance or withdrawal orb dehumanisation.

Brilliant, but too long
This audiobook is packed full of useful tips and scripts for setting boundaries throughout many different areas of your life. It was just too long and repetitive which spoilt the experience for me! 3/5 stars.
