The feeling of betrayal and pain can leave you untrusting of everyone after that, and the emotional aftermath can lead to years of therapy or unhealthy behaviors. If you’re a ‘Yes’ to any of these, this episode is a must for you: - Have fallen for people’s fake concern at the expense of invalidating yourself - Felt suffocated by the weight of someone’s constant complaining - Started questioning your version of reality because you were being gaslit The Boundary Boss and one of our favorite homies on Women of Impact, Terri Cole, is back for another round and this time she’s unpacking everything you need to never be tricked by manipulative people again!

Terri Cole is a licensed therapist and bestselling author who helps women like you break the cycle of living without boundaries.

You’re bleeding all over me but I didn’t cut you.” - Terri Cole “If we have evidence that the person we’re talking about has no capacity for self reflection, no interest in taking responsibility for what is their side of the street, that is someone who in my book is truly toxic.” - Terri Cole “Ego is a story of us very much grounded in our lived experiences…” -Nicole LePera “What feels like disproportionate reactions actually aren’t disproportionate. They are safety making mechanisms.” -Nicole LePera “So many of us grew up as an extension of our parents.” -Nicole LePera Follow Terri Cole: Website: https://www.terricole.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-OC1zN27enpTA_eNWB7dKw Podcast: https://www.terricole.com/podcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/terri_cole Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terricole/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TerriColeLCSW/ Follow Nicole LePera: Website: https://theholisticpsychologist.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtEWTaMjqOH8J1Gy06Ey0Yg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.holistic.psychologist/
