Description

How do you show up in difficult relationships? Do you? Or do you run from troubling relationships in the name of self-care or mental health? Can staying in challenging relationships through emotional boundary setting be the pathway to enlightenment?

Ginny and Amanda discuss how difficult relationships provide an opportunity to increase your self-esteem by showing up in love and compassion. Amanda calls these Esteemable Boundaries—internal emotional boundaries that serve your personal development. 

They also explore:

• Boundary setting as a form of empowerment vs. a form of emotional self-protection
• How role playing an interaction with a difficult person helps to create an emotional escape route when you sense the situation is heading south
• The power you have in creating better relationships in your life
• Ginny's personal story of a long-term, close relationship that has changed drastically and suddenly and how she is handling it
• Amanda's personal story of being ghosted by a person she was extremely close with

***Disclaimer: Ginny and Amanda are talking about troubling relationships, not abuse.
