There are people who believe they have the right to pass over you… Just like that. As if you were invisible or, even worse, as if your ideas, your opinions and your feelings were worthless. You make an effort, you insist, you look for a way to assert yourself, you try to please, you make an effort to understand the other and you even try to please them. But it’s never enough. Is it really worth it to continue suffering for those toxic people? Life is too short to waste time trying not to disappoint expectations toxic of others.
In this episode of the podcast ‘Alphabet of well-being’, the journalists Laura Pintos and Raquel Alcolea talk with the psychologist Thomas Navarro to find out what those red lines are that we must mark to take care of ourselves and protect ourselves emotionally.
Tomás Navarro is an atypical psychologist. He lives in the Pyrenees, where he does his sessions skiing, climbing, cycling or walking. With his books, which have been translated into more than 30 languages, he inspires half the world. He has successfully published ‘Think Beautiful’, ‘Wabi-sabi’, ‘Kintsukuroi’ and ‘Emotional Strength’ and has just released ‘ your red lines ‘. In addition, with his work he promotes emotional well-being and resilience both in companies and on an individual level. She collaborates with numerous media outlets (including ABC Bienestar) and also gives talks on motivation and psychology.
