• Applicable, evidence-based strategies for establishing and managing boundaries , and recognising unhealthy habits/patterns of thinking
• De-identified examples given, making the content relatable
• Sets you up for a growth mindset; and the understanding that continuous growth is the goal
• Processes and mantras are easily applicable to real life situations.
• ‘Protection selves’ were a game changer for me. Also, ‘fight, flight, freeze, fawn’ response.
I listened to the audiobook, revisiting each chapter to highlight and take notes. I attempted to apply strategies as I went, pausing reading sporadically to not be overwhelmed with too much information. This meant reading the book entirely took 8 months.
