The Motivation Mindset with Risa Williams: Setting Boundaries - Dr. Michelle Chung
Do you over-commit to social events only to find yourself avoiding what you've just signed up to do? Do you over-explain why you can't make something and then feel overly guilty afterwards? Do you wish you had a simple formula so you could just say no to something without all the stress? Then, check out our latest episode: Setting Boundaries!
In this episode, Risa Williams talks to psychologist, Dr. Michelle Chung, about setting healthy boundaries by learning how to use a "soft no". Sharing her practical boundary-setting formulas, Dr. Chung teaches us that we can learn to take care of ourselves and our own needs in a gentle way that doesn't confuse the listener.
They discuss:
-The Soft No formula: Learning the "validation sandwich" technique
-The DEARMAN Method: Derived from DBT, Dearman teaches us how to effectively communicate our needs in a mindful way that is easy to remember
-Learning to let others feel their feelings and to let ourselves feel our own feelings too
-Why self-care is so important for refilling your own cup so you can pour out to others
