Do you know what your non-negotiables are? What are your deal-breakers when it comes to relationships?
I got an email this week from someone who asked me what she could do to be rest assured that she wouldn’t get into any more relationships with narcissists, and while that’s a pretty tall order, there are some things I have to share that will definitely be helpful.
If there’s one thing you can do to be sure you don’t get into another relationship with a narc, it’s learning how to set and express your personal boundaries.
How healthy our personal boundaries are dictate how healthy all of our relationships are.
In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down boundaries to help you learn how to communicate your preferences and desires early and often in a relationship and (most importantly) how to identify your non-negotiable deal-breakers.
If you’ve ever been in a relationship with a narcissist, you know how terrifying that experience is and how difficult it can be to break away from that kind of dysfunctional dynamic. I have other resources for you in this week’s cheat sheet if you’re currently in this kind of painful situation, and you can download that here now: [ Ссылка ]
