Why Do We Attract Toxic People? Understanding Emotional Patterns and Boundaries
A 60-minute session on the people who keep hurting us and why we keep letting them in: the same type of partner again and again, the friend who only calls for favours, the boss we can't afford to leave, the parents and relatives we can't say no to. Is “toxic” a warning sign or an easy label, and are boundaries self-respect or a nicer word for control? Twelve independent cards; open three or four.
How we do this
Be respectfulDisagree with the point, never the person.
Raise your hand to speakSo nobody has to talk over anybody.
Keep it shortSay the thing, then let the next person in.
Discussion is encouragedReply to each other, not just to the question.
Tangents are allowedIf the room follows it, it is the discussion.
