BOUNDARIES PROTECT YOUR WELLBEING
A practical, information-packed coaching resource for anyone who finds themselves saying yes when they mean no, feeling responsible for other people's reactions, over-explaining their needs or only noticing their own limits once they are exhausted.
Inside this guide, readers explore what healthy boundaries actually are, why they support wellbeing and how to recognise the physical and emotional signals that a limit may be needed. It looks at guilt, people-pleasing, old family or relationship roles, and neurodivergent experiences including masking, rejection sensitivity, processing time and noticing capacity.
The guide includes a boundary coaching check-in, clear phrases for everyday situations, a practical five-step boundary plan and a fill-in worksheet to help turn insight into action. There is also guidance for boundaries at work, with family, in intimate relationships and online, together with important consideration of safety and unequal power.
The final section offers deeper coaching questions, a personal message from Maggie, recommended books, a Carl Rogers person-centred perspective, further support options, references and clinical notes.
This resource is designed to help readers move away from automatic yeses and towards clearer, more sustainable choices - without confusing healthy boundaries with becoming distant or uncaring.
