by Nedra Glover Tawwab
Tawwab, a licensed therapist, argues that most interpersonal exhaustion comes not from difficult people but from unclear or unenforced boundaries. She offers a CBT-informed framework for identifying six boundary domains, naming one's limits clearly, and tolerating the guilt that arises when old patterns of over-functioning are interrupted.
