Ever find yourself saying 'yes' when you really want to say 'no'? In this episode of Inner Bonding, Dr. Margaret Paul dives into the struggle many face with setting boundaries and the emotional toll it takes. Through heartfelt anecdotes and practical advice, Dr. Paul explores why some people find it so hard to say 'no' and how this can lead to anxiety, depression, and even physical health issues.
She shares real-life stories of her clients who have battled with this challenge, like Janice, who gained weight to avoid unwanted attention, and Ron, who became aloof to protect himself from being taken advantage of. Dr. Paul highlights how these coping mechanisms often backfire, leading to more isolation and emotional pain. But it's not all doom and gloom! Dr. Paul offers actionable steps to reclaim your power and start saying 'no' with confidence.
She emphasises the importance of self-love and taking responsibility for your own feelings instead of trying to manage others' emotions. You'll learn how to identify when you're giving yourself up and how to make choices that honour your well-being. With a mix of compassion and tough love, Dr. Paul guides you through the process of becoming your own best advocate. So, if you're tired of feeling drained, anxious, or unappreciated, this episode is a must-listen.
It's time to break free from the 'Yes Trap' and start living a life that's true to you. Are you ready to put yourself first and embrace the freedom that comes with it?
