Instantly Put Toxic People In Their Place! – Terri Cole & Lisa Bilyeu

Show Your Worth Without Saying A Word - Terri Cole

Navigating relationships, whether personal or professional, can sometimes lead us into toxic situations. Terri Cole, a renowned psychotherapist and relationship expert, offers powerful strategies to reclaim your power and set healthy boundaries without uttering a single word.

"Instantly Put Toxic People In Their Place! - Show Your Worth Without Saying A Word"

Summary:

  1. Importance of Boundaries:

    • Establish clear physical, emotional, mental, material, and sexual boundaries.
    • Healthy boundaries are essential for self-respect and protecting oneself from manipulation and coercion.
  2. Practical Boundary Setting:

    • Use direct, assertive communication to enforce boundaries (e.g., asking someone to step back if they are too close).
    • Utilize humor when appropriate to defuse tension while maintaining boundaries.
  3. Dealing with Intrusive Behavior:

    • Address violations of privacy, such as someone reading your texts or emails, by asserting your right to psychological privacy.
    • Redirect intrusive questions by questioning the questioner to maintain control over personal information.
  4. Identifying Red Flags in Relationships:

    • Be cautious of fast-moving relationships and “love bombing.”
    • Recognize and address control tactics, such as financial control or threats of self-harm, as forms of abuse.
  5. Handling Conflict and Abuse:

    • Set clear consequences for unacceptable behavior, such as explosive anger or coercive control.
    • Remove yourself from situations where boundaries are repeatedly violated to protect your well-being and safety.

The Importance of Boundaries

Establishing clear boundaries is crucial for maintaining self-respect and protecting oneself from manipulation and coercion. Terri Cole emphasizes the need for boundaries across five key areas: physical, emotional, mental, material, and sexual. Each type of boundary serves to safeguard different aspects of our well-being, ensuring we remain in control of our lives and interactions.

Practical Boundary Setting

Direct and assertive communication is essential when enforcing boundaries. For example, if someone is invading your personal space, simply asking them to step back can be effective. Using humor can also help diffuse tension while still maintaining your boundaries. Cole suggests phrases like, “Back it up, pal, you’re too close,” to assert your comfort preferences without escalating the situation.

Dealing with Intrusive Behavior

Addressing violations of privacy is another critical aspect of boundary setting. When someone reads your texts or emails without permission, it’s vital to assert your right to psychological privacy. Redirecting intrusive questions by questioning the questioner can help maintain control over your personal information. For instance, responding with, “Why do you want to know that?” can shift the focus back onto them and protect your boundaries.

Identifying Red Flags in Relationships

Recognizing toxic behaviors early is key to avoiding deeper entanglements. Fast-moving relationships and “love bombing” are significant red flags. Terri Cole advises caution when someone accelerates the relationship timeline excessively. Additionally, be aware of control tactics such as financial manipulation or threats of self-harm, which are forms of abuse designed to keep you compliant.

Handling Conflict and Abuse

Setting clear consequences for unacceptable behavior is crucial in maintaining boundaries. For instance, if someone exhibits explosive anger, it’s essential to outline the consequences, such as leaving with the kids or insisting on driving instead of them. Removing yourself from situations where boundaries are repeatedly violated is a powerful way to protect your well-being and safety.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Terri Cole’s strategies for boundary setting empower individuals to reclaim their power and protect themselves from toxic influences. By establishing and enforcing clear boundaries, addressing privacy violations, recognizing red flags, and setting consequences for abusive behavior, you can maintain control and self-respect in your relationships.

Positive Attributes Exercise: My Washer & Dryer

My Rant About My Washer & Dryer

I love not hand washing my clothes.  I love that I have a dryer that dries my stuff.  I am grateful that I’m not outdoors hanging things on a clothesline.  My clothes are washed and dried in under two hours.  This probably took all day before these machines but I could not tell you how hard it was to go to the lake and wash my stuff.  

I have an old washer but it works flawlessly.  I personally rebuilt it by replacing the spring and it has worked for over a decade.  What a great invention a washer and dryer is.  I am totally convinced this is the way to go. 

I would never just get rid of my washer and dryer.  I have actually washed things in my tub and that really sucked.  Worse, it poorly cleaned my clothes and then I had to hang them around my apartment for hours.  Like many hours, like 5 hours or more.  

This was totally inefficient.  I am sold on having a washer and dryer.  I have even carried my clothes to a laundromat and that was tough too.  Carrying a full bag of clothes over several blocks is also not fun or efficient.  

I love washers and dryers.  The two totally go together and are a perfect match like peanut butter and chocolate.  I have an old-style washer and dryer and it takes a lot of water.  I look forward to a newer model that uses a lot less of this abundant resource.

I love BJ’s and buy bulk soap for my washer.  This is totally the way to go when trying to max out the money I have set aside for washing my clothes.  I am grateful for technology and even the electricity I have in an abundant form that powers this equipment.  

Thank you inventor of the washer and dryer.  The world is truly an easier and more awesome place with these machines.  I am grateful for the ability to do in just a few hours wash a shit load of stuff. 

Even if I dip my stuff in mud and shit it is easy to clean through roughly without aggravation with a washer and dryer.  Thanks for these simple things that make my life better.

Positive Attributes About: My Life

Day 3: Listing the positive attributes about my life experience

Life is long and full of things wanted and not so much wanted. Here is a rant about me and It's not all positive but has led me to this place where I am looking withing daily.

My life has been good and has taught me many things.  I am 50 years old and have many talents and abilities.  I have played many roles in my life.  I attended a religious school which hurt me but focusing on the good it taught me many morals and values.  

Religion was not for me and taught me to fear God.  I am Spiritual now and find God is love, not judgment.  The school taught me right and wrong in a very strict way which has created a line between what I should do and shouldn’t do.

After I left that Christian School, I went to public school for 3 years till graduation.  I met my first love there and even though she broke my heart, I did love her fully.

I almost got married and it would have led to divorce.  We were young and being young I could not see what she wanted from me or from her life.

She was not faithful and that caused our breakup and ultimately left a child without a Father.  To this day I don’t know if the baby she had is mine or someone else’s.

For all of that, I hope someday to know for sure but the pain of that experience leaves me paralyzed.  I wonder what I would say to her.  I feel so bad that all this was left alone.  Her family threatened me and I ran away.  I always believed what OI was told and that she was another baby.

When I see pictures of her I am devastated.  I feel lost and I feel I was cheated out of a great thing, her.  For all of this, I am still grateful for I may have been a horrible Father.  perhaps it all would have led to a greater heartache.  I have met many married couples that hate each other and the kids suffer for it.

Perhaps it all worked out for the best or maybe I just will never know.  I trust in God to sort this out and perhaps we live thousands of versions of this life and in many we were complete.

I find it of great challenge to forgive Tiffany.  I wish her well and at the same time hope she falls and breaks her ass.  

I pray for a day of clarity on this.  I pray that Gabby finds herself and is strong and healthy.  I hope she finds success and happiness and that my absence is not a brick in her world.

As a young man, I had many jobs.  I would say I had well over 100.  I have many skills today that I did not have then and it has become easy to just get by.

I have a background in home repair and plumbing and I am damn good at these things.  I started my first business when I was 24 and have worked primarily for myself ever since.

There are good things and bad things about running your own show.  I would say that bad is less than in that I don’t have a pension to fall back on.  The good is the massive skills and determination that having to push through and complete projects to someone’s satisfaction has given to me.  

I am grateful for all the struggle.  It has forged a spirit that won’t quit.  I am strong and today I am in the best shape of my life.  I believe in me more than most people believe in anything.

My life has been hard but I feel that it has taught me to survive and I may not have made it through any other way.  I trust the universe to know what is best and that may not always be true.

I have several businesses that I am building up these days.  None really are booming but each has the potential to boom and provide so much more than a paycheck.

I live in Florida and it’s warm almost every day of the year.  I have lived in a half dozen places like Pennsylvania, Colorado, Hawaii, and more.  Each has had its own ups and downs but has shaped me somehow.

I have been fat and skinny.  Without opportunity and with.  I have had faith, lost it, and then regained it in a more powerful way.  I have truly come so far!

Like the story of the baby elephant who can’t break free of the rope, I am not that baby anymore.  I easily break free of my bound and for all of this, I am grateful.  

I have spent many years alone and in it, I have found both madness and serenity.  I have been lonely and somehow conquered that feeling while still being alone.  I like myself and all that I have discovered, fallen prey to, or risen above.

Today I am grateful for my struggle and someday I will rewrite this so it’s a lot more positive.  For now, it is all I have to give and it has brought me here to this moment.

This moment has me in a nice house, with lots of extras.  It’s not a mansion but it is nice and comfortable.  I have extra rooms and a remodeled kitchen.  I am comfortable here.
