Coming Up for Air — A Toolkit to Help with Your Loved One's Recovery from Addiction & Mental Illness

FAMILIES Speak: The Power of NO (Are You a Yes Person or a No Person?)


Listen Later

Are you a "YES person" or a "NO person?" According to Kayla, each of us has a tendency in one direction or the other. Find out what practice she recommends for "YES people" and why. But why is it so hard for so many of us to say "no" to people we love?

Bridget, one of our co-hosts, admits that in her relationship with her Loved One, she used to operate from a place of fear. "I thought if I said 'no', I'd never see him again."

Join us for a pertinent exploration of a laden subject. "YES" and "NO" often happen automatically for us, but what would start to shift for the better if we became more mindful of why we're answering that way?

The support group that Kayla facilitates is now offered on a sliding scale.
