Why Is It So Hard to Say No?

This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are back to recording in person at West Chester Studios and unpacking the difficulty behind saying no. They discuss our fears about saying no, why we tend to believe others are going to react negatively to our “no," the resentment that arises when we ignore our boundaries, preferring internal distress over external distress, what we get wrong about boundaries, pausing before saying yes, why discomfort does not equal danger, and so much more! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
