Conversational Boundaries: Clinically-proven phrases and communication strategies for maintaining boundaries under pressure

By Shiloh A. Werkmeister

Does any of this sound familiar? You're sick of feeling pressured in conversations. You find yourself saying YES when you really want to say NO. You frequently find yourself getting off track in conversations. You find yourself replaying conversations over and over in your head, trying to find a better outcome. You end up doing things you disagree with, don't have time for, or don't desire because you gave your word. You worry people won't like you unless you agree with them. You walk away from conversations feeling insulted or ignored. You're distracted thinking about other things, or your mind is elsewhere, so you miss critical parts of communication. You feel like you don't process information as quickly as others. By the end of the day, you feel pulled in too many directions. You find yourself avoiding people because conversation feels too difficult. After many years of working in the mental health field, I have noticed a pattern. So many people believe they have firm boundaries, but when put on the spot and under pressure, they become flustered, and their mind goes blank. The ability to efficiently express the boundaries they want to maintain is not available to them. This book is dedicated to everyone who has ever been in this position. Maybe you have said yes to something that you did not want to do because, at the moment, you couldn't phrase a response that respected your boundaries. Maybe someone tends to say things that ruffle your feathers or make you uncomfortable, but again, at the moment, you are at a loss for how to respond. There's good news. I see you. I feel you. I have been you. I can help you. In this book, I will discuss conversational boundaries, reasons to employ them, and how to use them effectively. There are two reasons conversational boundaries are essential. First, conversation is part of everyday communication. No matter who you are or what you do, nothing happens in your life without communication. As a human, having communication is invaluable and inevitable. Second, implementing boundaries in communication is essential for success. I want you to be successful in every area of your life. Use this book as a tool, a guidebook, to create transformational changes in your communication. You can be on your way today to better communication and healthier boundaries. Is it really possible? Yes! In fact, the tools in this book can help you have better conversations, reduce stress, improve self-esteem, and more. Embrace the truths presented in this book. Practice the strategies presented. Watch your communication improve and thrive.
