Publisher's summary

For when your trust has been broken: Discover how to set firm boundaries again, how to connect deeply without being hurt, and how to safely grow your most intimate relationships.

Painful relationships violate our trust, causing us to close our hearts. But to experience the freedom and love God designed us for, we eventually have to take another risk.

In this breakthrough book, best-selling author Dr. John Townsend takes you beyond the pain of the past to discover how to re-enter a life of intimate relationships. Whether you're trying to restore a current relationship or begin a new one, Townsend gives practical tools for establishing trust and finding the intimacy you long for.

Beyond Boundaries will help you:

  • Reinstate closeness appropriately with someone who broke your trust
  • Discern when true change has occurred
  • Reestablish appropriate connections in strained relationships
  • Create a safe environment that helps you trust
  • Restore former relationships to a healthy dynamic
  • Learn to engage and be vulnerable in a new relationship as well

You can move past relational pain to trust again. Beyond Boundaries will show you how.

Plus, dig even deeper into relational healing with the coordinating video study and study guide. Spanish edition also available.

Great Advice from Proven Counselor

Realistic Truth and Guidance for Strengthening Personal Relationships. Offers many suggestions for conversation starters with other party. Grounds you in relational awareness, proper timing, appropriate goals. Get this book before you pay the fortune it would cost you in therapist fees. As for now, maintain safe boundaries, but don't burn bridges.

Incredible book

This is an incredible book for anyone who has dealt with needing to put pretty intense boundaries around oneself to protect themselves from another person's actions when do you know to move forward how do you know that it safe to move forward in that relationship or being able to trust others to be able to move forward, how do you know that they're trustworthy? How do you know that it's time to move forward? I have found this book to be very helpful in answering those questions, I hope that you learn a lot about yourself and others as you read this book and move forward in your own personal growth in this season of your life.
