Setting Boundaries That Stick: How Neurobiology Can Help You Rewire Your Brain to Feel Safe, Connected, and Empowered
Tap into the power of neurobiology to create healthy boundaries and more authentic connections with others. Do you struggle to set boundaries with others in your life? Has your past conditioned you to expect pushback when setting boundaries, or caused you to give up on trying to set boundaries altogether? The prospect of setting boundaries can be scary and intimidating, and can put you in a very vulnerable place where your mental health and well-being may even be at risk. There is a science to creating boundaries—one that will empower you, deepen your connection with others, and improve your self-esteem. Setting Boundaries That Stick offers a scientific, neurobiological approach to boundary work. This unique guide will teach you to set healthy boundaries from the inside out by cultivating an “integrated brain,” which allows you to respond to others with intention, rather than simply reacting based on instinct. Also included are exercises and activities to help you understand and create both physical and psychological boundaries, thereby building a solid, holistic framework for a more authentic sense of connection with others. It’s time to set boundaries in a way that empowers you to protect yourself, while also improving your relationships. By working from the inside out, this book will help you set healthy boundaries that actually stick .

Respond rather than react
If you want to respond to others rather than react then this book is for you. This book teaches how to discover, create, communicate and hold boundaries. It talks about 2 different types of brain “integrated and disintegrated” which are necessary for proper functioning of our reaction and responsiveness. Also, compassion is the main component towards others and self to develop healthy boundaries. I like the analogy of self with a river. Read for yourself to find the explanation to this analogy.

Expertly written in an approachable and knowledgeable way. I laughed several times in this book. The length makes it seem easy to come back to in the future. Excited to speak with the author tonight! Here are some of my favorite parts:
Setting boundaries that stick
Boundaries are any thing a person does to feel safer
Not protected vs protected brain state
Non integrated brain state rescues child from street without thinking
Non integrated brain state also says hurtful things during fight
Requests vs complaints
Suffering often comes when we put our will up against reality.
Boundaries are what I will do not what I expect someone else to do.
You were right, it hurts when she does this. It’s also not my life. She can live her life her way, and I can take care of me with this boundary.
QUESTION: Why have soothing gestures?
Resentment is when I wanted to set a boundary but didn’t.
YASSSSS!: Wisest and kindest version of me, where do I want my boundary to be.
Boundaries are the distance to which I can love both you and me simultaneously. - Prentiss Hemphill
Able to take in the past-
HAHA: on this planet stuff falls down
Discernment practices
Is it true?
Is it about me?
The horse and the broken leg
Tragic? Hmmm we’ll see.
Wonderful blessing? Hmmm we’ll see.
Healthy is not in the middle of the spectrum, it is what is right for you in a given moment.
Containing boundary
1. Pause
2. Compassion gesture
3. Values words
LOVE THIS: “Seth puts his hand on his heart and quietly says the word: Goonies.”
What to do during a time out:
1. Give yourself some time
2. Love yourself like crazy
3. Reengage

⭐REVIEW: Setting Boundaries That
Stick by Juliane Taylor Shore
Setting boundaries for myself is one of the hardest
things I find myself doing. I always struggled with
standing up for myself. When something bothers me, I
tend to hide it until it bursts, losing my cool, which
makes me feel terrible.
Setting Boundaries that Stick is the book I didn't know I
needed so badly. In Setting Boundaries that Stick, the
author provides an evidence-based, neurobiological
approach to setting boundaries. You'll learn to set
external, psychological, containing, and physical
boundaries without damaging yourself and others
around you.
The book has engaging exercises to help you maintain
boundaries, feel happier, and connect better with
others through clear and honest communication.
🤔 My Thoughts on this book
Finally, there is a book that gives the reader a clear
and incredibly actionable process to follow and
accomplish their goals. The book is packed with
practices you can use to change your relationship with
yourself and others.
To say that the book is practical is an understatement.
The author walks the reader through each step and
explains how to make everything work. Moreover, the
scientific approach employed by the author adds to the
book the reliability most self-help books don't have.
"Why should I read it❓"
If you struggle to set boundaries with people in your life
and your past has conditioned you to expect pushback
when standing up for yourself, making you worried
about letting others down, damaging your relationships,
or being "less than" others expect of you, you need to
absolutely check this book out.

yourself❓

Therapist Review
This has quickly become my favorite boundaries book; I was recommending it to clients before I even finished it. I feel like when people talk about boundaries, it is really only external boundaries; looking at internal boundaries feels revolutionary and very needed!
I will say this is a buy the actual book and work through it slowly type of read, not an audiobook in the car (what I did) kind of book. There are journal prompts and a lot to think about throughout the reading journey.
I will definitely need to reread this book to make sure to gain all the benefits of it, but I’m looking forward to doing so.

It is a very interesting book to read as this book talks about the practicality of personal development and dealing with relationships to strengthen them.
We have to get out of our trauma, past conditions and memories that haunt us to think that people can behave as they like with us. Because there should be a limit and line that should be drawn and that is why setting up boundaries is important.
By setting boundaries we'll not give a chance to people to take advantage of you but it also strengthens our relationship while empowering us.

Please yourself instead of pleasing others.
If you are someone who has hard time saying "No" to people, who is a people pleaser and always gets hurt in the end while trying to make others happy, then you need to read this book. This book will teach you how important boundaries are in life. We all need to have these boundaries in order to protect our peace. People can only hurt you if they have access to the outside world of these boundaries and not everyone should be allowed to this world. This book has numerous stories from people about how they realized they needed healthy boundaries. You will not only read this book, but you will understand the true meaning of "boundaries" in depth.
A must read for each and every person.

I am a therapist and have read many books about boundaries in the past. This was the most practical boundary book I’ve read. I enjoyed the step by step guidance for creating and holding boundaries. I found the psychological and containing boundaries sections to be incredibly useful. So often we focus on our actions when someone violates our boundaries but these sections expanded my idea of boundaries in a useful way. Highly recommended this book!

Excellent book. The most impactful book on boundaries I’ve read so far and I have read quite a few. It’s like therapy in a book. The book guides you through 6 important steps with guided meditation and journaling. It’s a deep and rich look at boundaries, not just with others but with yourself, and the practical application to apply and practice in real life. Highly recommend.
