Episode 21: Impositions

You’ll never amount to anything. You’re selfish. You must choose this career path because that’s what we do in our family. You must be a wife and mother. All of us have heard some type of imposition like these. Impositions are thoughts and ideas that others impose upon us or we impose upon ourselves. And they can be abusive at times. For example, abusers will gaslight and accuse the abused of the very things they are—imposing upon them something that is not true to control. Impositions can control us; therefore, it is important to recognize impositions. It’s important for a healthy community, a healthy business, a healthy marriage to recognize when you begin and the other person ends and to tell yourself that’s you not me. I refuse to take that on! We talk about all of this in this episode!
