Breaking Up Part 2 – A Step by Step Guide
I find not taking things personally and setting boundaries/teaching people how to treat me VERY CHALLENGING. Its a very thin line. How do I manage this internally?
I hear you. It’s possible you are using it to benefit you in an indirect way. In some of my other videos, I talk about secondary gain. You can find this by asking yourself- What do you get to avoid facing, dealing with, or feeling by continuing to take things personally? Continue to observe with curiosity and kindness towards yourself.

Hello, why do l only take things personally with my partner. Over the past 4 years he’s the one who seems to have the power. My previous marriage of 10 years, l was the powerful one. When l look back, l didn’t like that about myself. Does it seem like l take things personally from just my partner because l see him more or is it because lm always scared off making a mistake. I never feel good enough. In the past he was very judgemental but he’s lessened that knowing l do take things personally. We only argue over small silly things and l know l get defensive but l feel l have no control and do l act irrational. Please help me xx
