How to Keep Yourself Safe: Verbally, Physically, Emotionally

Do people respect you? Or, do they take you for granted? Maybe, there are only one or two people who get your knickers in a twist in that way, and this needs straightening out right away.

Don’t feel like a victim. There’s no need. You can do something about it.

You might have “Boundary-itis!” Dr. Shaler talks about how you can empower yourself by clarifying, expressing, and maintaining your boundaries…and WHY that’s essential to your well-being!

Sure, you know that setting boundaries is a good thing, but this information is SO compelling that you’ll want to listen so you can put it in place right away!

In this empowering episode with Susan, we covered some new areas of keeping yourself safe. I asked Susan why she thinks we need to be empowered. Interesting answer.

Here’s some interview highlights:

• Why you need to set boundaries that send a clear message and head off sexual harassment, sexual assault, tough challenges, unwanted flirtation or invasion of your space
• How you can set up situations properly to prevent arguing about your boundaries, rules, or standards
• Responding appropriately–and effectively–to intimidation
• How Susan found Akido a key to empowering herself and the girls she teaches
• Using language as self-defense to prevent an attack

And, she helps you understand how to create physical distance in threatening situations, too.
