Start the Protect Yourself from Toxic People Path

What you will learn on the Protect Yourself from Toxic People path:

This path is intended to equip you with a strong sense of how to set and uphold healthy boundaries. You'll learn skills that will help you develop new behaviors and the confidence to examine core aspects of your needs and how those relate to your relationships.

If you are prone to getting hurt over and over again, or you find yourself in the role of the people pleaser, or people just keep walking all over you, this is the path for you.

Paths are self-paced, meaning you can complete them on your own timeline, at whatever speed feels right to you. Our suggestion is to plan on spending about 6 months working through this material.

Courses include:

The 10 Laws of Boundaries, How to Say No, Safe and Unsafe People pt. 1 & 2, How to Handle a Narcissist, Facing Controlling Relationships, Entitlement, Emotional Abuse, Codependency pt. 1 & 2, How to Avoid Drama, Hope, Necessary Endings, Revenge, and finally, Forgiveness

Difficult Conversations

Some of the most important conversations to have are often difficult. They can be difficult because it's something you care strongly about or difficult because the person you're talking with is someone you care for, or because you're feeling mistreated or coming from a place of hurt. Very often these conversations are necessary. Dr. Cloud guides you on how to feel comfortable having difficult conversations.

How to Avoid Drama

Life is full of traps. Sometimes this fact is never more apparent than in our relationships with others. One of the biggest traps that we all fall into at one time or another is getting stuck in the whirlpool of unnecessary drama. You know what I’m talking about: that friend who may have lots of good attributes, but always manages to trigger an argument whenever you’re together; that coworker who seems to only ever want to talk about your mutual colleagues and the zillion ways they’re doing everything wrong; that fragile friend whose feelings get hurt no matter what you do or say; or what about that person who you’re always having to save from the assorted troubles that seem to follow them around wherever they go? Getting bogged down by these kinds of people and issues can be seriously demotivating.

Safe and Unsafe People pt 1

Safe and Unsafe People is a course designed to help you identify your good and harmful relationships. You'll learn how to protect your connections with the people who help fuel your success, and how to protect yourself from the harm caused by the people who take away your freedom and energy.

Boundaries in Relationships

Relationships provide the essence of thriving, both for ourselves personally and professionally. But, not just any kind of relationship will do. The relationships that provide fulfillment to us have certain components to them.

Getting Unstuck

Change is hard. Often, change carries a fair amount of risk, and risk is something many of us avoid like the plague. However, it's important to consider when taking a risk might be worth it. Likewise, ponder whether what you need to gain a fresh perspective on your life, goals or relationships is just the right kind of change. Part of recognizing this opportunity to improve your circumstances is just seeing the needs you have. You have to regularly undertake a self-evaluation and question whether your needs are being met, and whether you're going the direction you want to be going. If you're not, it may be time for a change.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Our strengths and weaknesses tell us where, how and why we spend our time, and when we’re aligned with what we spend our energy on, we experience fruitfulness from our talents and gifts. In this course, we’re going to take a look at what it is in our lives that fulfills our hearts and how to set boundaries with the things that distract us from pursuing those desires. Ultimately, we have to evaluate our character.
