There's a shadow on the side.

00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:15.240
Welcome to this special bonus episode of Absolutely Focused Radio.

3
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:21.000
Normally we drop our podcasts every Friday, but today's topic

4
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.640
is so important we couldn't wait. This episode is all

5
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:31.480
about recognizing and addressing manipulative behaviors and finding sobriety in

6
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.880
every aspect of life.

7
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.880
Good day and good night. Welcome back, and thank you

8
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.079
for tuning in. Now let's dive into the heart of

9
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.960
today's discussion. We have Jane Marie with us, who's here

10
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.840
to give us a real breakdown on manipulative behaviors and

11
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:55.159
how they impact our lives. Jane, welcome, Thank you.

12
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:59.200
Manipulative behaviors can be subtle or overt, but they always

13
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.719
have one goal control. It's crucial to recognize these patterns

14
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:08.599
and understand how they affect us, especially in our closest relationships.

15
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:13.120
That's so true. Could you share some examples and signs

16
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:13.959
to look out for.

17
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.040
Absolutely One key sign is when someone constantly shifts blame

18
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.319
and never takes responsibility. Another is when they try to

19
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.920
isolate you from support systems or manipulate situations to keep

20
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:26.640
you off balance.

21
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:30.760
Thank you for those insights. It's important for our listeners

22
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:35.400
to understand these behaviors and how to address them. Now,

23
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:40.000
let's talk about sobriety in a broader sense. Sobriety isn't

24
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:45.319
just about alcohol or substances. It's about freeing ourselves from

25
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.400
anything that's negatively impacting.

26
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:53.640
Our lives exactly. Whether it's a toxic relationship, a negative mindset,

27
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.920
or harmful habits. Sobriety means reclaiming our lives and focusing

28
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.079
on what truly matters.

29
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.439
That's a powerful message. Let's provide our listeners with some

30
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:09.599
strategies to set boundaries and seek support. Setting boundaries is crucial.

31
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.879
It starts with recognizing your own worth and knowing that

32
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:18.159
you deserve respect. Don't hesitate to seek support, whether it's

33
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.639
from friends, family, or professionals.

34
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.479
And remember, sobriety is a journey. It's about progress, not perfection.

35
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.759
Keep focusing on your growth and be kind to yourself

36
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:31.400
along the way.

37
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.919
As we wrap up, take a moment to reflect on

38
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.560
what sobriety means to you. Remember it's not just about

39
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.400
avoiding substances, it's about freeing yourself from anything that holds

40
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.240
you back from living your best life.
