Description

This podcast helps listeners learn how to stop letting other people's emotional immaturity control their lives. The podcast teaches listeners to give others the space to feel their emotions without needing to fix them. By understanding that most adults react emotionally like eight-year-olds, listeners can respond with compassion and set boundaries.


This podcast also discusses how to use the "Let Them" theory to process difficult emotions:

Allow feelings like anger, hurt, and sadness to come up.
Don't react by reaching for your phone, turning on the TV, or making a drink.
Just notice the feelings and let them rise and fall without reacting.




Most emotions will rise and fall within 90 seconds if you don't react to them.
