In the 'Make it Happen' studio, Ali Meehan is joined by Marléne Rose Shaw - a therapist and self-help author.
We talk about 'How Kind People Get Tough' and Marléne gives tips for people experiencing lockdown due to the Coronavirus, especially when in an enclosed environment and provides some rules to navigate your relationships, create boundaries and be assertive with your space.
Marléne says "'How Kind People Get Tough' is based on many years helping people gain confidence and have better relationships. Many of my clients over the years have told me that they want to be more assertive but they worry that it will make them mean or cause conflict or that they’ll be rejected.
That’s become my main focus now: teaching people how to be assertive and have more secure and happier relationships. It's all about communication skills, and boundaries letting go of limiting beliefs and overwhelming emotions.
I wanted to take all this from beyond the therapy room and reach more people
I truly believe that when we set better boundaries and communicate well, we encourage others to do the same, and they encourage others to do the same, so the whole world becomes a happier and more secure place.
It’s like a ripple effect."
