Gentle Boundaries
A formula for your no, and the words to say it
Kind and clear is not a contradiction. Setting boundaries isn't a character trait — it's a skill, and skills can be practised. This workbook leads from the need to a simple formula to the prepared boundary, including handling pushback and the guilt that can follow.

Anyone who says yes more often than is good for them — and who isn't looking for tough one-liners, but for doable words that fit their own style.
What you get
- Why boundaries feel hard — with three real sources (assertiveness research, DBT, self-determination theory)
- A needs page: what the boundary actually protects
- The four-block formula: describe, name, boundary, offer
- Nine phrases to borrow — in three levels of firmness
- When pushback comes: calm repetition instead of endless justifying
- Setting the boundary AND protecting the relationship (Linehan's GIVE/FAST)
- A stocktake across six areas of life
- Typical inner hurdles — and what they're missing
- When the guilt arrives: sorting it out instead of fighting it
- A practice page made to be reprinted — for every new situation
