Relationships Made Easy

238. How to Deal with Controlling People


Listen Later

Controlling people can show up anywhere in your life: romance, friendships, work, or your good old dad. Sometimes these people are well-meaning, but it’s driving you crazy! They’re always telling you what to do, and there are two ways of doing things: their way and the wrong way. They say they’re “just trying to be helpful,” but you often walk away feeling resentful, frustrated, drained, or even depressed. Today we’re going to turn that around! In this episode, you’ll learn the six main categories of controlling behaviors and my top tools for dealing with each one.  ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/how-to-deal-with-controlling-people Grab my FREE Mindfulness Starter Kit: https://abbymedcalf.com/product/mindfulness-starter-kit/ Want more quick, actionable tips so you can create connection, joy and ease in all your relationships?
