Boundary Scripts and Affirmations

Boundary Scripts & Affirmation Cards: The Right Words When You Need Them

Do you know you need to set a boundary but freeze when it’s time to say it? This printable set gives you clear, kind language for the moments that matter most, plus affirmation cards to keep you steady afterward.

It was created by Tara Goza Freeman, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience helping women speak up without guilt.

Inside you’ll find:

• A 5-step boundary formula you can use in any situation: Pause, State, Redirect, Repeat, Follow through.
• A script library for 8 everyday situations: saying no, buying time, family requests, work, money, disrespectful talk, privacy, and repeated pressure.
• Scripts for friendships and romantic relationships.
• “When someone pushes back”: calm responses for comments like “You’ve changed” and “You’re being selfish.”
• Write your own scripts: space to plan a line for the situation you keep running into.
• 16 printable affirmation cards to cut out and keep where you’ll see them, like “No is a complete answer,” “I can be kind and firm at the same time,” and “Rest is a valid priority.”
• 2 blank cards to write your own affirmations.

What you’ll receive:

• A PDF made to print and cut. Use cardstock for the affirmation cards. The “write your own” sections and blank cards can also be typed into with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
• A print edition with lined writing space and a white background to save ink.
• A Read Me First guide.

Details:

• 6 pages, US Letter size (prints on A4 with “Fit to page”)
