Thanks so much Marie for including my ‘setting boundaries’ post in this week’s round-up. I’ve been so impressed by the reader comments in response to this post so far (one in particular, a nurse named Jill, who wrote about how we often “base decisions on other people’s expectations and old paradigms we were taught about what makes a Good Daughter, Good Wife, Good Friend or Good Nurse….”)
I think I keep writing about patients needing to learn to say “NO!” because I keep struggling with that word!

I just loved it Carolyn – I struggle with setting personal boundaries in my life and it was enormously helpful to read it. It’s one I’ll be returning to often!
