Living in the Comfort Zone

This book is wonderful. The author covers the topic of relationship boundaries and the necessity of having them in place in a very effective manner. The importance of recognizing co-dependency and its negative effects within relationships is expressed in a very comprehensive manner. Its a must read for those who seek to improve all the relationships in their lives in a positive way.

Living in the Comfort Zone really meant a lot to me not only because she explained the importance of boundaries in relationships but because she explained very clearly WHY some of us don't have a very easy time with them. Some of us have virtually no experience with setting boundaries and others have them so rigid that nothing can penetrate.. not even the good things. She explains the patterns and how sometimes people are distancers and sometimes intruders of other's boundaries. It helps me to understand the dynamics behind a behavior or lack of it and THEN to get suggestions to work towards a more desired outcome. The author has done a wonderful job of explaining a very complex subject and offering really practical and helpful suggestions.
