Feminist Book Club: Setting Boundaries

Book choice by August MISSives guest editor, Brea Dorsett

Personally, when it comes to reading, I love to opt into a good self-development book.

One of my recent favourite reads has been Setting Boundaries by Dr Rebecca Ray.

Dr Rebecca Ray has over two decades of professional experience as a clinical psychologist and in her book, she unpacks several concepts in a digestible way that allows readers to reflect and evolve.

Dr Ray shares science-based advice and tools to help:

  • identify your boundaries and when they have been crossed
  • recognise the patterns and habits that have failed to support you to feel empowered
  • engage in difficult conversations from a place of strength and self-kindness
  • set clear, intentional boundaries and become your most loving, fulfilled and authentic self.


Accessible, inspiring and deeply practical, Setting Boundaries ignites us to rethink our relationships, reclaim our lives and protect our mental health and wellbeing.

YWCA Australia wishes to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we work, live and play and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We recognise First Nations people as the custodians of the lands, seas and skies, with more than 60,000 years of wisdom, connection and relationship in caring for Country.
