I Say No! How to Stop Being a Pushover and Learn to Refuse

When someone tries to cross your boundaries—wants to enter your room without permission, checks your phone, or tells you how you need to change, whether that means losing weight or gaining it—you have the right to say no. Olga Bochkovа, a family psychologist, play therapist, and educator, explains that you often have choices. You decide what is acceptable for you and what is not. Violating personal boundaries can be disguised as jokes or “helpful” advice. Don’t fall for phrases like “It’s just a joke” or “We’re only doing it for fun.” The key is your reaction and your feelings. To take control of the situation, it’s important to learn how to say the word “no.”

After listening to this audiobook, you’ll realize that “no” is one of the ways:
— to define and protect your personal boundaries;
— to strengthen your relationship with yourself and with others;
— to make life clearer and calmer;
— to gain confidence and strength.
