Description

Saying NO is the turning point in recovery from codependency, narcissistic abuse, and childhood trauma. But for adult children of alcoholics and trauma survivors, it can feel terrifying—like you're choosing rejection or abandonment.

In this episode, we'll explore why the first boundary is always the hardest, and why it's also the most powerful step toward freedom.

You'll discover:

  • Why your brain links "no" with danger and rejection

  • How childhood programming makes boundaries feel unsafe

  • Why toxic people push back when you finally walk away

  • How saying no rewires your brain for self-love and peace

If guilt, fear, or self-doubt rise up when you try to protect your peace, this episode will remind you: you're not broken—your brain is coded to expect pain. And with awareness, you can rewrite that code.

💡 Stay through the end for practical encouragement to stay strong in your healing journey.

Start your healing today with the groundbreaking, science backed, psychologist approved 12 Week Breakthrough Method.
