📱 eBook en inglés THE GUILT BEHIND EVERY BOUNDARY YOU SET

Boundaries should feel simple—a clear line between your needs and someone elses demands. But for many, setting a boundary triggers guilt, anxiety, or the fear of being selfish. Saying no feels like abandonment. Protecting your time feels like betrayal. Choosing yourself feels like cruelty.
This book explores boundaries not as rigid walls, but as psychological negotiations shaped by early conditioning, attachment patterns, and the survival strategies you developed to stay safe or loved. It examines why some people struggle to recognize their own limits, the belief that your needs matter less than keeping peace, and the exhaustion of managing everyones feelings except your own.
Rather than offering scripts for assertive communication, this book reframes boundary-setting as an emotional reckoning with who taught you that your discomfort mattered less than theirs. It explores enmeshment, people-pleasing as adaptive behavior, the difference between guilt and genuine harm, and the relief of realizing that disappointing someone doesnt make you cruel—it makes you human.
For anyone who over-explains their decisions, feels responsible for others reactions, or carries resentment from years of silent accommodation—this book offers insight into the psychological roots of boundary struggles, permission to prioritize your own clarity, and the quiet strength of meaning your limits without apology.
