This episode is one of my most powerful Terri Cole Show episodes from 2017 about how to set boundaries with difficult people, including narcissists!
I talk about the language to use when you’re drawing boundaries, how to identify your boundary style, how to dictate the mood of a conversation, how to be a successful boundary-setter long-term, and much more.
Enjoy the show!

Are You A Perfectionist?
I’m past being kind. I can no longer be kind to someone who’s lousy parenting set me up for a lifetime of painful abusive relationships and who still is up my ass about everything. If I try to set a boundary, she suddenly finds something to bitch at me about and she holds me living here over my head. So the threat of homelessness becomes more important than the boundary. She’s a horrible person and my anger is off the hook when it comes to her. Maybe homelessness would be better.
I hear you and I’m holding space for you Monie. As someone who has been in my community for a long time, you know how important firm and clear boundaries are. Especially when you’re in the same space. I’m sending you strength and protection.
