You don't always have to respond to everything they say and everything they feel. This works great when you're talking about politics, by the way, hey friends, ways to better boundaries with addicts and toxic people, that's what we're talking about now.
Ever feel like you're constantly drained by the people around you? In this episode of 'Genuine Life Recovery with Jodie Stevens', Jodie dives into five practical strategies for setting better boundaries with addicts and toxic individuals. Jodie, who has been sober for 16 years and is a recovering codependent, shares her personal journey and actionable advice that can help you reclaim your emotional and mental space.
Whether you're dealing with addiction, codependency, or just struggling with low self-esteem, these tips are essential for anyone looking to build healthier relationships. First up, Jodie emphasizes the importance of emotionally separating yourself from others. This means recognizing where you end and the other person begins, which can be especially tough if you're used to prioritizing others' needs over your own.
Next, she talks about the power of self-awareness—knowing your values, limits, and what you need to feel safe and fulfilled. Jodie also highlights the importance of understanding your rights and expressing them assertively. If you've been a people-pleaser or conflict-avoider, this step might feel daunting, but it's crucial for setting solid boundaries. Believing in your choices is another key point.
Even when situations seem impossible, remembering that you have options can empower you to make decisions that are right for you. Practicing these boundaries is where the rubber meets the road. Jodie encourages listeners to actively communicate their needs and stand firm, even when it's uncomfortable. The more you practice, the easier it gets. And let's be real—some people just won't respect your boundaries. For those tricky situations, Jodie advises staying consistent and prioritizing your well-being above all else.
