About this listen

For when your trust has been broken: Discover how to set firm boundaries again, how to connect deeply without being hurt, and how to safely grow your most intimate relationships.

Painful relationships violate our trust, causing us to close our hearts. But to experience the freedom and love God designed us for, we eventually have to take another risk.

In this breakthrough book, best-selling author Dr. John Townsend takes you beyond the pain of the past to discover how to re-enter a life of intimate relationships. Whether you're trying to restore a current relationship or begin a new one, Townsend gives practical tools for establishing trust and finding the intimacy you long for.

Beyond Boundaries will help you:

  • Reinstate closeness appropriately with someone who broke your trust
  • Discern when true change has occurred
  • Reestablish appropriate connections in strained relationships
  • Create a safe environment that helps you trust
  • Restore former relationships to a healthy dynamic
  • Learn to engage and be vulnerable in a new relationship as well

You can move past relational pain to trust again. Beyond Boundaries will show you how.

Plus, dig even deeper into relational healing with the coordinating video study and study guide. Spanish edition also available.

this book will provide an inside of the matters to address when overcoming a difficulty, wether is work, personal or family relationships, we all encounter them somehow and this will give you some feedback on things that you may be aware of or need to think twice...great opportunity to reflect and I would suggest get a piece of paper and write as you listen to the book!

While boundary setting is universal for everyone, this book has a perplexing amount of couples references, examples, and advice, making it alienating and mostly irrelevant to singles or people tuning in over family, friend or co worker dynamics. Also no mention of what to do with toxic people who you can't always cut off or avoid, like bosses or family.
Basically, a misleading title. In summary- there is no going 'beyond boundaries'. Defining Boundaries are permanent, and Protective Boundaries must be too, unless the person hurting you changes. While these concepts are important and I'm glad he finally explained them somewhere around chapter 11, it was easy to miss. Essentially, its healthy couples counselling, and preachy as hell.

Ugh.
