Anne Katherine Boundaries
Where You End And I Begin Some boundaries are obvious, such as the physical space surrounding you. You are affected when this boundary is crossed--if you are shoved, or kissed; if you are touched suggestively, if a stranger simply stands too close. Some boundaries are harder to see, but they are just as important, and affect you just as much--emotional boundaries. Boundaries can bring order to your life, strengthen your relationships with yourself and others, and are essential to your mental and physical health. Real-life stories throughout the book illustrate the ill effects of not setting limits, and the benefits of protecting your own personal boundaries and respecting those of others.

Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life
The first lesson in this transformative book is that every woman has her own unique sexuality, and that women vary more than men in their anatomy, sexual response mechanisms, and the way their bodies respond to the sexual world. Second lesson: sex happens in a context. And all the complications of everyday life influence the context surrounding a woman's arousal, desire, and orgasm. Cutting-edge research tells us that the most important factor for women in creating and sustaining a fulfilling sex life, is not what you do in bed or how you do it, but how you feel about it. Which means that stress, mood, trust, and body image are central factors in a woman's sexual well-being. Once women understand these factors, and how to influence them, they can create better sex and more profound pleasure. A workbook by the same author is available.
