23 — Friday Fix: How to Empower Yourself...

Amy Morin
About this episode

If you've ever felt frustrated by people who treat you poorly, you're not alone. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to empower yourself.

But first, it's important to recognize why you allow yourself to be mistreated. You might be surprised by what the research says about the link between low self-esteem and mistreatment from others. Once you develop a better understanding of why mistreatment occurs in the first place, you can decide if you're ready to establish boundaries and prioritize self-respect.

Make sure to listen to the end of the episode for the question of the week. And if you have a question you'd like answered by a therapist, email me at podcast@amymorinlcsw.com and I'll consider featuring it on a future Friday Fix episode.
