The Let Them Theory

The Let Them Theory teaches that while you can't control other people's emotions, you can control how you respond. When someone around you is throwing a tantrum or reacting emotionally, rather than trying to fix it, the theory advises you to let them have their experience without absorbing it. By practicing emotional detachment, you preserve your own energy and peace of mind, preventing others' emotional turmoil from overwhelming you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why adults often react emotionally like children, and how to stop letting their emotions affect you.
  • How to practice the Let Them Theory by letting emotions rise and fall naturally.
  • Simple strategies for setting boundaries with emotional adults while staying compassionate and calm.
