I’m sorry but this reads, to me, like a bunch of unfounded generalizations. No science, no examples of how it works. So thoughts have no substance? Duh.
Just as the quest self esteem has been taken to the absurd, so has the admonition to set borders. I am hearing people rudely reject others by saying "these are my borders." This phrase makes good sense when one is protecting herself from abuse, But it can also be used to close doors to understandingand promoteself righteousness (or a fake kind of self esteem.)
