In Our Boundary, Dr. John Olesnavage explains why healthy relationships require healthy boundaries, and why boundaries must be flexible and whole to operate effectively. Dr. Olesnavage shares his research results and two boundary conditions that impede a person's ability to achieve healthy and satisfying relationships. He gives detailed descriptions of boundaries stuck in self defeating coping behavior and boundaries torn by trauma and loss. Dr. Olesnavage introduces Boundarytime, a therapeutic approach that repairs boundary holes and restores flexibility to boundaries that are frozen. His work, explained with numerous case examples, unlocks the healing power of boundary and affirms its role as a force for change and connection. This book offers hope and strategies for repairing damaged boundaries in children and adults. One chapter is specifically devoted to boundary repair with teens, and another chapter addresses boundary repair with couples.
