b'Relationships are very difficult because we get lost in them: they can overtake our sense of self, especially if that relationship is long term and we don\\u2019t have a lot of contact with others outside of the relationship. This is a reminder to come back into your own shoes \\u2013 if we tip off balance we start to default to what someone else wants or what we think they want us to do. To the other person, this can also feel like we don\\u2019t respect ourselves.\\nI use this metaphor often for relationships but they\\u2019re like a rubber band is around both people and we have to keep it taught by walking together, but separately. There should be equal and voluntary gift giving/taking, and if that balance has been tipped and things are growing lopsided, the most important thing you need to do is register and react to that truth.\\nThis episode has tools for getting back in touch with your sense of self and also tools for setting healthy boundaries, if you are in a situation where the other person is encouraging the enmeshment.\\nSupport this weeks sponsors!\\nBrooklinen.com \\u2013 promo code HELPMEBEME\\nExperience the difference for yourself, and check out Brooklinen\\u2019s new fall collection!
