Reason You Can't Say No | Dr Julie

if you learned as a child that it was

your responsibility to prevent the

people in your life from feeling upset

or disappointed then as an adult saying

no to something in order to meet your

own needs is going to bring up feelings

of intense guilt and when we feel that

guilt we assume that it must be because

we're doing something wrong when in fact

those feelings can be a reflection of

the past experience not what's best for

us now
