I’ll circle back and let you know when I’m ready to talk about it.” not feel like you have to love or do what the other person loves or does communicate your needs or wants to others say NO when you aren’t willing or able to meet the expectations of others share your feelings and experiences vulnerably with others intentionally decide not to spend time with “Debbie Downers” or “Energy Vampires” When do you notice: feeling ashamed or guilty for the emotions of others? using the phrase: “You made me feel… “? your body going into A.L.A.R.M.?A = abuse L = loss A = abandonment R = rejection M = forced maturity criticizing others when they’re incompatible with you? reacting to anger and lashing out? expecting others to be just like you? expecting others to anticipate your needs and wants? sacrificing your health and well-being to meet the needs of others? pushing yourself past your capacity? being the “audience” for a complainer? complaining for attention? allowing someone to “drain” your energy? depending on others to be your joy?
