Practical in scope the book includes tools tips and strategies from Storm's decades of experience leading boundary-setting workshops. Grounded in resiliency and trauma-informed theory Storm pays particular attention to the experiences of women people of color immigrants and LQBTQI-identified people making this necessary reading for anyone looking to create healthier relationships and build stronger communities.
