They are desperate to tow that fine line between letting someone walk all over them, and not wanting to hurt the people they love the most.

I went from being wrapped up in an emotionally abusive relationship, unable to even see that what was happening wasn't ok, to being an internet authority on boundaries and abuse prevention. My student went from barely being able to get out a "no" in my workshop, to also becoming a boundaries and self-defense instructor!
Here's what didn't help us make those transformations:
Proof
Truth
Science
Strategy
or even...
REALITY.

So, today, I am revealing to you the most fool-proof sure-fire way to know EXACTLY what's going on with you and your boundaries WITHOUT having to use rack your brain too much.
