How the boundaries workbook printable helps you say no

First you learn what a boundary is, and what it isn't. Then you look at nine areas of life to find where you feel drained or resentful, and uncover the needs and values underneath.

Pick soft phrases for turning things down, buying a little time or asking for room, or create your own using a four part formula. A planner helps you prepare for one real conversation. Afterwards, a reflection sheet, a tracker for every no and a page of guilt reframes help you see how far you've come and quiet that nagging voice.
