4. Know Your Limits, Know Yourself

Boundaries aren't about keeping people out. They're about knowing who you are clearly enough to stay true to yourself in the relationships and situations that test you most. If you've ever felt resentful, exhausted, or quietly angry after saying yes when you meant no, this workbook is for you.

Know Your Limits, Know Yourself explores five types of boundaries — physical, emotional, time, material, and digital — with honest explanations of how boundary violations trigger your nervous system's stress response and why this matters. You'll work through values exploration exercises grounded in your real peak and difficult moments (not abstract ideals), and learn to identify the JADE Trap: the Justify, Argue, Defend, Explain pattern that keeps you locked in boundary conversations that go nowhere.

Inside, you'll also find guidance on communicating limits in ways that are clear without being harsh, and a Values Under Threat stress map to help you understand which of your core values is at stake when life feels most difficult.
