EP177 Being Assertive Means Healing First

Welcome to Episode 177 where we get honest about how we need to heal on the inside before we present our authentic self confidently on the outside.

In this episode we process the idea that in order to present our outside selves to the world in a confident manner and be able to speak assertively and with emotional honesty, we might need to do some inside work first to make sure we make peace with all of who we are… first.  To then be able to advocate for ourselves, negotiate lovingly in our relationships, with emotional honesty and emotional maturity. Eventually our insides match our outsides more, and we can relax into who we really are.    

Key Elements:

• Contrast healthy and unhealthy emotional childhood environments and their impact on our self-esteem.
• Look at how shame and guilt can make being assertive difficult.
• Note the need for inner healing first before we can be assertive out there.
