Let Them… and Then What?

from The Best Self Podcast

In this episode, I’m exploring what happens after you decide to ‘let them’. This theory can be a powerful way to stop trying to control other people, but sometimes letting them is only the beginning. If you are still angry, hurt or walking on eggshells, that feeling may be telling you something important. I’m talking about the difference between irritation, crossed boundaries and genuinely unsafe behaviour. We’ll also look at why personal growth cannot always save a relationship, how to use anger as information, and why boundaries are promises you make to yourself, not dramatic ultimatums. Highlights: (01:44) - Why ‘let them’ can be such a powerful permission slip (05:05) - When letting them starts to feel like suppression (09:59) - How to express anger without projecting it onto others (12:18) - The difference between letting go and setting a boundary (16:08) - Why abuse is never a ‘let them’ situation (25:22) - How to decide your boundaries before they are tested Connect with me: Instagram @thebestselfpodcast Website - https://thebestselfproject.co.uk/ Email [email protected]
