So I would really invite you into considering and thinking about how to use and implement this principle into your life, because I think it's going to save you a lot of time and energy.
Ever felt drained from helping others more than they help themselves? Jennifer Maneely has a solution. In this episode of 'The Unbreakable Boundaries Podcast', she introduces the Exchange Principle, a tool to help you navigate the tricky waters of offering assistance while maintaining your own boundaries. Jennifer, who has firsthand experience with recovery and codependency, breaks down her thought process when someone asks for help.
She emphasizes that your energy should match the effort the other person is willing to put in. This way, you’re not overextending yourself for someone who isn’t ready to take responsibility for their own growth. Jennifer shares practical examples, like paying for a service instead of giving money, or letting someone choose their own therapist if they need regular sessions. The idea is to offer help that encourages responsibility and self-sufficiency in the person you’re assisting.
If they’re not willing to meet you halfway, it might be a sign they’re not ready for the help they’re asking for. This episode is packed with insights on how to save your time and energy while genuinely supporting others. Jennifer also reminds us that people are often more resilient and capable than we give them credit for. They just need the chance to prove it to themselves.
Tune in to learn how the Exchange Principle can transform your approach to helping others and setting healthy boundaries.
