As a child, your emotional needs were not met, your feelings were dismissed, and you likely took on adult levels of responsibility in an effort to compensate for your parent's behavior. Somewhere along the way, you lost your sense of \u003ci\u003eself\u003c\/i\u003e. And without this strong sense of self, you may feel like your own well-being isn't valuable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this compassionate guide--written just for \u003ci\u003eyou\u003c\/i\u003e, not them--you'll find tips and tools to help you set boundaries with others, honor and validate your emotions, and thrive in the face of life's challenges. You'll discover how to protect yourself from hurtful behavior, stop making excuses for others' limitations, forge healthier relationships, and feel more confident in your life. Most importantly, you'll learn how to stop putting others' needs before your own, and manage daily stressors with competence, clarity, and optimism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelf-care means honoring and respecting the self.
