Relationship Truths: Redirecting and Making Space for Someone Else - with Chris Warnes

Send us Fan MailChris Warnes is back on Alison Answers: Mission Awake, with another very important episode all about relationships, and how we can strengthen the relationships in our lives. Alison and Chris dive into the topic of dealing with someone in our life that often plays a victim, aims to make us feel guilty and at fault, and may be unaware of how to communicate more effectively. Relationships are all about communication, yet so many people don’t know how to communicate in a way that both expresses your feelings, and doesn’t trigger a defensive feeling in another person. Getting to the root of our feelings and actions is the real key, yet is often overlooked. Someone with an “eggshell ego” may not know how to communicate effectively, so Alison and Chris share how you can make space for that person to come to a realization of the effect of their actions. It is also our responsibility to do the work to undo our subconscious programming and learn to be in a healthy relationship. Tune in to hear more!Key highlights:Alison’s example of a relationship with someone that is always the victim and makes you feel guiltyChris’ journey of healing and overcoming anger and triggersBoundaries within ourselves- why we need to set themDealing with an eggshell egoEffort to change is keyRedirect to understand the other personYou need to understand yourself and make space for the other personFind the lesson and action plan to not make the mistake againWe have been taught to always fight to be rightWe need to undo our subconscious programmingBreaking the bot in usEpisode resources:Book: Dominate Your Day: A high performer's guide to winning at life by Chris WarnesBook: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale CarnegieConnect with Chris:Website: chriswarnes.comInstagram: @chriswarnes_ogYouTube: Chris WarnesPodcast: The CW ClinicFacebook: Christopher WarnesConnect with Alison:Instagram: @alisonanswers | @lagercounselingWebsite: LagerCounseling.comYouTube: Alison AnswersFacebook: Alison Lager Lcsw CasacConnect with Alison:Instagram: @alisonanswers | @lagercounselingWebsite: LagerCounseling.comYouTube: Alison AnswersFacebook: Alison Lager Lcsw CasacPurchase Alison’s book: “The Wake Up Call”Alison Answers Facebook Group: Join HEREWomen of Excellence FB group: Join HERE⚠️ Crisis Resources:Lager Counseling ServicesCall: 516-221-2123Text: (914) 363-0381Wantagh: 3408 Park Ave. Wantagh, NY 11793988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (24/7, free, confidential)Call or text 988 | Visit 988lifeline.org
