To have high self-esteem it is imperative that a person know what healthy boundaries are and how to defend them without offending others. This educational book on relationships, no matter what type, is a self-help resource of the highest order, describing what true boundaries are and how to implement them. Learn how to identify abuse and gain the self-esteem to stop it. It is never okay to let yourself be abused and now you don’t have to. You can learn these concepts through this psychology book. Is that the reason I get abused? like the other educational mental health books in this series, has been designed to appeal to individual clients or families, as well as the mental health clinician interested in learning more on the issue of healthy boundaries and how to effectively avoid abusive behavior. The other self-help books in the series include the following topics: Dysfunctional Families, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Parenting, Codependency, Substance Abuse, Communication and Assertiveness, and Love Addiction. Each of these booklets describes a different aspect of very common emotional problems. They are meant to stand alone as descriptions of separate problems, but together describe the disastrous results of coming from a dysfunctional family.
