The Recovery Warrior Shows

Every time you say no when you mean no, you're saying to yourself, I love you I respect you and I will protect you.

Show Notes

Every time you say "no" when you mean no, you're saying to yourself, "I love you I respect you and I will protect you". Standing up for yourself and setting boundaries doesn’t have to be full of drama. It's an important part of the recovery process to voice your needs. Instead of avoiding the conflict or stuffing it down, you can learn to communicate assertively by saying this is where I draw the line.

In this episode you'll learn tactical ways to communicate assertively such as using the following "assertiveness formula": When you say ________ I feel ___________ because ___________.

For example, when you comment on my weight I feel upset because you know this is a sensitive subject for me.

Tune in for more great wisdom around why, when, and how to set boundaries.
