#032: Be There For Me, Just Not Like That - with Marianne van den Broek

Are we empowering or disempowering our friends? How to set boundaries when someone’s support is disempowering you.

From psychiatrist to business coach, Marianne combines mindset with practical tools to fast forward your trajectory and shares with us how we can be better friends to those who need our support.

We go over:

// EFT and THETA therapies.

// How to process your emotions if you don’t want to cry in front of someone.

// Different ways to be there for someone.

// When texting is not your love language, how do you get the right support?

// Judgement disguised as caring.

// Having the moral high ground as a survival mechanism.

// People who don’t want to be controlled and people who are afraid to loose control (ie: how we all react differently to fear).

// The importance of having your feelings and then get unstuck.

// When day drinking and lounging has its place.

// Accept that people heal in stages, it’s part of our survival mechanism not to heal ALL at once.

// Empathy vs compassion/ self-compassion vs sympathy

// Our actions don’t define our worth .

// How to be there for others and how love languages can help us support our friend.

// How to set boundaries when someone’s support is disempowering you.

// How to be your own best friend.

// Her tips on how to thrive during self isolation.
