Publisher's Summary

Break free from over-functioning, over-delivering, people-pleasing, and ignoring your own needs, so you can finally live the life you deserve!

Most of us were never taught how to effectively express our preferences, desires, or deal-breakers. Instead, we hide our feelings behind passive-aggressive behavior, deny our own truths, or push our emotions down until we get depressed or so frustrated that we explode, potentially destroying hard-won trust and relationships.

The most successful and satisfied people on the planet have one thing in common: the ability to create and communicate clear, healthy boundaries. This ability is, hands down, the biggest game changer when it comes to creating a healthy, happy, self-determined life.

In Boundary Boss, psychotherapist Terri Cole reveals a specific set of skills that can help you stop abandoning yourself for the sake of others (without guilt or drama) and get empowered to consciously take control of every aspect of your emotional, spiritual, physical, personal, and professional life.

Since becoming a boundary boss is a process, Cole also offers actionable strategies, scripts, and techniques that can be used in the moment, whenever you need them. You will learn:

  • How to recognize when your boundaries have been violated and what to do next
  • How your unique “Boundary Blueprint” is unconsciously driving your boundary behaviors, and strategies to redesign it
  • Powerful boundary scripts so in the moment you will know what to say
  • How to manage “Boundary Destroyers” - including emotional manipulators, narcissists, and other toxic personalities
  • Where you fall on the spectrum of codependency and how to create healthy, balanced relationships

This book is for women who are exhausted from over-giving, overdoing, and even over-feeling. If you’re getting it all done but at the expense of yourself, give yourself the gift of Boundary Boss.

Critic Reviews

“This powerful book is a clear path to deep healing work. If you’re ready for true emotional freedom, let Boundary Boss show you the way. And thank you, Terri Cole! Your brilliant (and often hilarious!) guidance is a blessing to us all.” (Kris Carr, New York Times best-selling author)

“Terri Cole’s advice is game-changing! After having her on my Off the Gram podcast, I went home and broke up with a toxic friend, then wrote about it in my own book! Terri is the ultimate boundary boss and communication queen and in this powerful book, she shows us how to become the same. The world needs this book right now!” (Meaghan B Murphy, content chief for Woman’s Day magazine, author of Your Fully Charged Life)

“With Boundary Boss, Terri Cole, powerhouse healer and transformational therapist, serves up the psychologically savvy medicine that you need to step out of destructive habits, stop people-pleasing, and set your soul free.” (Gabrielle Bernstein, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Universe Has Your Back)

The Penny Drops

Really powerful work that integrates a lot of positive psychology and Zen mindfulness saying “This is what’s happening, this is how it impacts you …. And best of all … here are a bunch of things you can do to create or rebuild your boundaries so you can live the life you want and not dance to other people’s tunes.”

Very well narrated by the author. Well structured but conversational at the same time.
And above all, it’s liberating- as the Buddha said, “My teachings are about freedom”.

Not about building an impermeable wall around yourself, it’s perhaps better seen that boundary boss work is about controlling what crosses one’s boundaries- what you let into your life and what you give out.

Time to go and buy the physical book for future reference and practice. Highly recommended.

This is life changing!

This book gave me the tools to get up and get away from an emotionally abusive situation. It has taught me how to feel safe again on my terms, be comfortable with feeling seen and get my inner voice back. 10/10 recommend If you wanna come back to yourself and stop being a push over, listen to this book. Terry is so warm and loving and all throughout the book and I felt her supportive loving energy radiate through me in every step of the way. Thankyou for this book Terri !!! Xoxox
