Here is one of the most useful books on relationships you will ever read. This book challenges you to explore the unknown depths of the soul and claim your individuality, while learning to connect with others in a healthy way. The term "comfort zone" describes the internal sanctuary you create by developing and maintaining your boundaries. Only through conscious creation of your comfort zone can you develop the ability to be present in body, mind, and spirit in order to create healthy relationships. Only by defining yourself can you connect with others. Rokelle Lerner addresses the practical issues of maintaining both your separateness and your sacred domain of connection: she explains how you can walk a spiritual path with practical feet. Lerner has filled this book with her clients' personal stories, modeling potential problems that can arise in relationships due to unformed or violated boundaries. You will learn how to stop boundary intruders and boundary distancers; mend the body and soul; deal with shame; heal emotional, intellectual and spiritual boundaries; set limits; unlock bonding patterns; and sustain your comfort zones while you do the soul work required for further personal growth.

the gift of boundaries
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
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.
