Boundaries & Breaking Cycles of Pain: Healing the rooted pain of victim, perpetrator and rescuer roles

By Stephanie Tucker

Unhealthy relationships are not random-they are the result of two internal systems of pain colliding. Beneath the surface of our daily interactions are unhealed wounds, survival roles, and trauma responses that shape how we relate to others, ourselves, and God. Without realizing it, many of us live entangled in painful patterns-hoping for connection, yet stuck in cycles that sabotage intimacy, trust, and peace.

Boundaries & Cycles of Pain is a transformative guide to understanding the relational dynamics that hold us captive. It offers a powerful roadmap to identify your relational patterns, heal the internal systems driving them, and walk in true freedom.

Through biblical truth, trauma-informed insight, and practical assessment tools, you will learn how to:

Recognize and break free from the roles of victim, perpetrator, and rescuer

Understand how shame operates in relationships-and how to dismantle it

Set boundaries not out of fear, but from a place of empowerment, grace and identity

Heal emotional wounds rooted in early pain and unmet needs

Build new relational patterns rooted in truth, safety, and grace

Whether you've been deeply wounded, feel stuck in toxic dynamics, or are ready to understand your patterns and begin again, this book is a gentle but honest invitation to healing. You were not created to live in survival mode. You were made to live in freedom, connection, and love.
