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.
