An empowering new take on codependent behavior, revealing the underlying reasons we struggle with doing it all--and the path to recovery and freedom.

Are you the person everyone comes to when they're in a jam?

Do you regularly accommodate others' needs and preferences?

Does it feel like chaos will ensue if you don't handle the travel plans, divvy up the check at group dinners, sort out your friend's latest crisis, and so on?

If these questions resonate, the odds are good that you are one of the over-giving, over-extending individuals struggling with what psychotherapist and boundary expert Terri Cole has termed high-functioning codependency (HFC).

When you hear the word codependent, you might think of the traditional enabler framework involving a hapless victim and their selfless rescuer. Terri certainly did. But after years in her therapy practice, she realized that many of her clients were presenting codependent behaviors that fell outside of the classic model.

The ironic truth with HFC is that the more capable you are the more codependency doesn't look like codependency.

In Too Much, you'll discover how to identify your HFC blueprint (or why you relate to others the way you do), the source of the attraction between codependents and narcissists, and how to cultivate emotional resiliency, practice real self-care, and much more.

Each chapter includes tips, self-assessments, and exercises to help you transform how you see yourself and the world, avoid relapses, and stay centered in your own experience so that you can relate to others in a healthier way.

How you feel, what you think, what you want matters. In fact, those things need to matter to you the most, writes Terri. By choosing the path of healing and recovery, you are coming home to yourself. Here is a book for making the shift from too much to just right, so you can live a life that's full of authenticity, freedom, and joy.

Break Free From Over-Functioning, Over-Delivering, People-Pleasing, and Ignoring Your Own Needs So You Can Finally Live the Life You Deserve!

Most of us were never taught how to effectively express our preferences, desires or deal-breakers. Instead, we hide our feelings behind passive-aggressive behavior, deny our own truths, or push our emotions down until we get depressed or so frustrated that we explode, potentially destroying hard-won trust and relationships.

The most successful and satisfied people on the planet have one thing in common: the ability to create and communicate clear, healthy boundaries. This ability is, hands down, the biggest game changer when it comes to creating a healthy, happy, self-determined life.

In Boundary Boss, psychotherapist Terri Cole reveals a specific set of skills that can help you stop abandoning yourself for the sake of others (without guilt or drama) and get empowered to consciously take control of every aspect of your emotional, spiritual, physical, personal, and professional life.

Since becoming a Boundary Boss is a process, Cole also offers actionable strategies, scripts, and techniques that can be used in the moment, whenever you need them. You will learn:

- How to recognize when your boundaries have been violated and what to do next
- How your unique Boundary Blueprint is unconsciously driving your boundary behaviors, and strategies to redesign it
- Powerful boundary scripts so in the moment you will know what to say
- How to manage Boundary Destroyers--including emotional manipulators, narcissists, and other toxic personalities
- Where you fall on the spectrum of codependency and how to create healthy, balanced relationships

This book is for women who are exhausted from over-giving, overdoing, and even over-feeling. If you're getting it all done but at the expense of yourself, give yourself the gift of Boundary Boss.

From boundary expert Terri Cole comes an empowering workbook featuring a wide variety of new practices, exercises, and encouragement.

Our culture is finally recognizing the importance of having and maintaining strong personal boundaries. But were you ever taught exactly how to set healthy boundaries? Fortunately, you don't have to figure it out for yourself. Following on the runaway success of her book Boundary Boss, Terri Cole presents a practice-packed guide to help you establish the robust boundaries that are essential for an empowered and deeply satisfying life.

The Boundary Boss Workbook greatly expands on the transformational tools Cole introduced in her debut book. You'll start with the essential truths about boundaries and how they operate, then dive straight into potent exercises--including assessments, scripts, mindfulness, embodiment, gratitude, celebration, and more. Here you'll explore:

- The importance of boundaries and how they affect every part of your life
- Self-assessment quizzes to identify your preferences, desires, limits, and deal-breakers
- Your self-care tool kit--meditations, reflections, and empowering practices
- Getting proactive--how to anticipate and prepare for boundary-setting situations
- Boundary scripts--creating the right words in your own voice for asserting boundaries
- Internal boundary practices to shift your self-talk, habits, and unconscious behavior
- Establishing and upholding new rules for healthy, authentic, and lasting relationships

Boundary work takes intention and commitment--but the results are worth it. Drawing healthy boundaries is one of the highest expressions of self-love, says Cole. When you do, every part of your life will blossom. You'll become more empowered in all your relationships--especially the one you have with yourself.
