I did CBT based therapy a few years back, I should dig my old workbook out. It was useful (I know currently CBT is not as popular as it was).

I guess less time putting up with bad behaviour from others might be a step in the right direction. I'm gentle natured and a bit wishy washy - my husband observes people ride roughshod over me. He admits he has done this to me himself. Several people I love and care about have done this to me. I'm a pushover by nature, maybe it's poor self esteem or learnt behaviour patterns - I honestly don't know.
