Marie Forleo: So, I would think, right, in terms of deal-breakers, obviously, preferences and desires, these are things that are coming from your heart, these are probably going to be really good things to communicate to those who you’re in deep relationship with. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.In Boundary Boss, Cole's proven methodology is based on her Five Pillars of Transformation for examining and adjusting your personal and professional limits. And if I don’t, I’ll end up with a headache and I feel crappy, I’ll be mad at all you, so wouldn’t you rather me leave? Terri Cole: So, intrusive questions is another, like boundaries and conversations, because these are also really emotional boundaries where so much of the time women in my courses would be like, “This person asked me this intimate question. Loved this book- the explanation of how to figure out why you’re experiencing challenges was very helpful, and the book had lots of exercises and real life suggestions for how to get to know yourself and kindly set limits.

I am what I tell myself I am, if I stop seeing myself as the victim then I can go ahead and apply all the productive tools Terri Cole suggests in setting boundaries.

We’ve known each other for a very long time and I could feel you in the pages, just your brilliance, your intelligence, and your no-nonsense nature, which I think is something we appreciate about each other. This book is for all the courageous women all over the world who are committed to creating healthy relationships and extraordinary lives.Most of those things are not like relationship ending, earth-shattering, but they’re still important that you know what they are and that where you can, you honor them.

So my anger went underground, which means that if I was angry I would express it in a passive aggressive way.
