Really enjoyed this episode. My former boyfriend was annoyed I said NO all the time. No, I don’t want to spend time with your mother. No, i don’t want to spend time ….etc etc. It was really the first time I was setting up boundaries…..because no one had taught me to do that. Eventually I said NO and goodbye to him….and I continued to transform, evolve, and grow.
4 years into my real emotional sobriety this is now so much easier...decades of pain could've been avoided. Today I wouldn't dream of saying yes to the previous dysfunction I accepted.
My mother threatened my life constantly during childhood if I said no. She’d constantly tell me that I couldn’t say no to her. It was clear my no didn’t matter to her. Looking back my life didn’t to her.
I can remember my closest friend telling me " Learn how to say no". The very first time I said No, out of plain irrational fear, I still regret it. Because I had no real reason to say No

A fantastic look at the power of no, many thanks!

Feels Great to say … “NO.”
