It felt really good.” – Angie“I used to be unable to express my needs without feeling guilty. Now I often say: ‘This isn’t against you. It’s for me.’ That takes the sting out of many situations and helps me stay centered.” – Dani“I’m getting better and better at setting clear and confident boundaries.” – Caro“Recently I went to a family gathering with my boyfriend. When my homophobic uncle started up again, I said: ‘I’m sorry if I gave you the impression you could talk to me like that.’ For the first time ever, he went silent. All evening long. What a relief!” – Robert“Last week I got an email calling me a horrible person. I replied with a heartfelt ‘Speedy recovery´—and received multiple apologies in return.
