Tweetable Quotes:

“No means No. No is a powerful world, and No is a complete sentence.” - Breonna B.

“Discuss your lack of boundary setting, the way that you set boundaries, your hope in setting boundaries in therapy, because someone can help guide you through that process and not only establish those boundaries, but they can also help you understand exactly why you have those issues in the first place.” - Breonna B.

“It’s really important to understand your education around personal boundaries, and they also help you truly understand how people have leveraged that within your life. If they know they can always rely on you, and you never say No, they can abuse that.” - Breonna B.
