Hi Everyone,

This week on the podcast, I discussed the topic of Setting Limits.

http://www.thehealthymind.com/2013/03/13/setting-limits-why-you-cant-say-no-and-how-to-fix-it/

Because of our "goodist" personalities, we may find it very hard to set limits. It may be quite difficult to say "NO". The result? Anger, anxiety, depression and physical pain of TMS. I draw from my TMS experience to discuss some of the deeper psychology behind these tendencies. I also provide some tips on how you can feel more comfortable and confident in respecting your limits.

I truly hope you find this podcast episode helpful. Have a great weekend!!

Kindly,
Dr. Zafirides

This is great. It is also covered in great details by Dr.Gabor Mate in his book: When the body says NO.
The title of the book refers to the body saying "no" using illnesses and pain when you yourself are incapable of saying no.

Dr.Mate asks fibromyalgia patients to give him $100. He realizes that they just can't tell him to his face "NO" and that he is out of his mind. They go to extreme length to wiggle out of his request increasing their emotional conflict and strain to be agreeable.
