تدريب Shadowing: Do This Once & Watch How Toxic People Disappear - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

If you're here, it's because at least one toxic person is in your life that you want to get rid of.

And let's be honest, there's at least one person that's probably at your family events

that you would never choose to spend time with if they weren't actually related to you.

You know, they might criticize you or guilt trip you or gaslight you.

And then in the end, somehow you still feel like the person who feels bad at the end of it.

And they don't feel bad about it all.

And you've probably spent years thinking, what's wrong with me?

Like, why do they always get to me?

How can I improve myself?

But what if I told you that their toxic behavior

actually has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their own traumas,

their own insecurities, and their own need for control?

And they are projecting their problems and the way that they feel about themselves onto you.

So it has nothing to do with you.

And today I'm gonna show you how to flip the perspective so you never get triggered by them again.

So you're gonna learn how to respond in a way that shuts down all of their drama.

And then once you shut down all of their drama, they're gonna feel the need to move on to somebody else.

So then you will get more peace in your life.

And especially this time of year, because the holidays should be fun and they can't be fun, But it can be really stressful for people who have toxic family dynamics.

And for people that you love the most, they usually trigger you the most.

And so it's important to know this before we dive in.

It's okay to set boundaries that are true to you and to prioritize yourself and your own mental health.

Okay, so let's go ahead and dive in.

Toxic behavior can be many different things.

It could be criticism of you.

It could be them trying to manipulate you.

It could be them gaslighting you and making you think that you're the problem when they're the problem.

It could be them using guilt and guilt tripping you to try to control you.

It could be them just all out trying to control you.

It could be guilt.

It could be shame.

It could be overstepping their boundaries.

And it could just be outright hostility from them.

And so when you look at a toxic behavior, what's the actual root of the toxic behavior?

it's important to know that toxic family members

and toxic people often are acting from unresolved trauma within themselves

or some sort of insecurity or the need to feel like they need to control you

and now I want you to understand

that doesn't excuse their behavior in any sort of way I'm

not trying to excuse their behavior I'm trying to explain their

behavior it's important to know where it comes from especially

if you're going to deal with it you know

so like an example might be you might have a really critical parent that's critical every single time

that you're around them and critical of what you're doing in your life

and your life path and who you're with or who you're not with

or when you're gonna have kids or not have kids.

And they might be critical because they are actually projecting their own fears and their own inadequacy onto you.

Like I see this all of the time that parents try to control their children and manipulate their children

and push all of their fears and all of their insecurities

and all of their inadequacies onto their children to try to control them.

And it makes you feel like you're the problem and there's something wrong with you, when in reality, it actually has nothing to do with you.

You just happen to be the person that's getting fear vomited on top of.

That's what it comes down to.

And you got to remove yourself and hopefully your emotions from the situation.

And so the shift and the perspective that you need to understand is this.

And we will be right back.

Hey, I wanna interrupt today's episode to tell you about my sponsor.

It is me, myself.

If you didn't know, I obviously have some coaching programs outside of the podcast to help you learn

and grow and become a better version of yourself.

Step-by-step programs and processes to help you become better in your life and create the life that you want.

If you wanna learn more about it, you can go to coachwithrob.com.

Once again, coachwithrob.com.

Check it out.

And let's get back to the episode.

When somebody is toxic, it isn't about you at all.

It is all about them.

And when you're in these toxic environments, you have to remind yourself of this.

And you might have to remind yourself over and over

and over and 10 or 20 times when you're sitting down for Christmas dinner.

It's not about you.

It's about them.

It's not about you.

It's about them.

You need to say it over and over and over again.

And it's really important to know that.

Now, what I always remind myself of, whether it happened to be somebody in my family or someone who's toxic or someone who's just an asshole in public,

is what you're seeing is an adult, right?

That's what you think.

But what you're really seeing is an unhealed child in an adult's body.

And if you keep reminding yourself, oh, that's just a wounded child who never healed, that is in a 47-year-old's body,

you can kind of take a step back and remove yourself and protect your own mental health in that moment.

Now, the other thing that you need to understand in this situation is you need to understand your own emotional triggers, right?

Because family members know you so well, and they will either consciously, but a lot of times unconsciously, know how to push your buttons.

And so you need to identify your specific emotional triggers.

You can use this moment.

You will be triggered, I promise you that.

But you can use this moment for you to be able to grow.

It's like going to the emotional resilience gym.

So, you know, you need to know your own emotional triggers like being talked down to

or being dismissed or being guilt tripped in some sort of way

or being judged for what you're doing in life or being judged for your body.

You need to know what your own emotional triggers are

and you can really journal through it like you should journal through it.

Like write down before you go to these family events

or these events where there might be toxic people or it could be work, whatever it might be.

And think to yourself like, what are my emotional triggers?

Because if I can presence it and I can bring it in, when I can see it, it doesn't have as much control over me.

And so the first thing you're gonna wanna do is you wanna make sure that you identify your feelings and your triggers.

100

You can also do this.

101

When you find yourself in the moment of being triggered, one of the best ways to take yourself out of it emotionally is to take yourself out of your emotional brain

102

and into your logical brain.

103

And what you do in that moment is like, oh my God, I'm really pissed off right now.

104

instead of getting into the drama, take yourself out of the drama, take out a pen and paper, walk into a different room and say, why am I being triggered right now?

105

And what it does is it will over time turn off your emotional part of your brain that's triggered

106

and it will turn on your analytical brain, which makes you look at it from a completely different perspective as

107

if you're somebody that's trying to solve a problem versus somebody who is wrapped up in a storm, right?

108

And so what you want to do is make a note of when you are triggered, write it down and now you're seeing it from a oh this is a problem

109

that I can solve

110

and I don't have to be wrapped up in versus like oh my god I'm lost in this moment okay

111

so that's the first thing the second thing is then what

112

you do whether it is before you go into a moment where there's a toxic person

113

or in that moment

114

when you remove yourself is you then plan how you want to respond in those moments

115

so you identify your feelings and your triggers and then you plan how you want to respond when it does happen.

116

So for instance, if like, if criticism about your career triggers you because your parents want you to go and be a lawyer,

117

but you don't want to be a lawyer, well, then what you want to do is you want to rehearse what you will say to yourself, right?

118

You rehearse what you say to yourself.

119

So when they come in and they still want you to be a lawyer

120

and you don't want to be a lawyer because that doesn't sound fun, you rehearse and you come with like your own empowering phrase for yourself.

121

I'm happy with my choices and that's all that matters.

122

I'm happy with my choices and that's all that matters.

123

Then when they come in and they throw their drama on top of you in your head, you just repeat to yourself, I'm happy with my choices and that's all that matters.

124

I'm happy with my choice and all that matters.

125

And it keeps you from being stuck in this toxic pattern with this toxic person.

126

So planning ahead, believe it or not, is actually really, really important because when you're triggered, I'm just going to be honest with you, you're not making the best decisions.

127

Have you ever been triggered?

128

And then an hour after being triggered, you're like, oof, yeah, I shouldn't have said that.

129

I shouldn't have done that.

130

The reason why is because when you're triggered and all of those emotions pop up, when your emotions are high, your logic is low.

131

Your emotions are high.

132

Your logic is low.

133

Your emotions are high.

134

Your body stops sending as much blood to the prefrontal cortex of your brain, which is where your logic is and your critical thinking.

135

And you're just wrapped up in emotions.

136

So you're not actually even making smart decisions in those moments.

137

So that's why it's important to plan ahead now and you plan how you react.

138

And then when you get really pissed off because they still want you to be a lawyer, you're like, what was that freaking phrase?

139

What was that phrase?

140

What was that phrase?

141

Oh yeah, that's what it was.

142

I'm happy with my choices and that's all that matters.

143

And it's the way to remove yourself from an old pattern that you've been stuck in.

144

Okay.

145

The other thing you want to try to do is try to work on emotional detachment, not in your entire life.

146

That's not healthy, but emotional detachment in those moments.

147

Detach yourself from that situation, right?

148

Someone said something to you.

149

Boo hoo, right?

150

Like you're in the end, you're going to be okay.

151

You're not going to die because somebody wants you to do X, Y, Z, right?

152

Somebody said something to you, not really that big of a deal.

153

Don't get wrapped up in it.

154

I promise you, you'll live.

155

So you don't need to take on someone else's opinions.

156

You are in control of whether or not you want to let somebody else trigger you.

157

And if it's a toxic person, you probably should try to remove yourself from that.

158

You don't get triggered by somebody else without you actually being like, okay, I'm gonna be triggered.

159

Unconsciously, you're doing it.

160

Like one of my favorite quotes on this is Eleanor Roosevelt and she says, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

161

You have to realize that if somebody makes you feel bad about yourself, it's because you're actually consenting to letting them feel bad about yourself.

162

Now, it might be just a pattern that you've been stuck in since childhood, but as an adult, let's start to remove yourself from this pattern.

163

You can use mindfulness to stay in the present moment.

164

Like when you start to get triggered, anytime your body shifts in some sort of way, the very first thing to change is your breath.

165

So what you wanna do is focus on your breath.

166

Slow your breathing down as slow as you possibly can.

167

Remove yourself from the situation.

168

Go to the bathroom.

169

My favorite way to self-soothe,

170

I do it multiple times a day is really deep breath in and then you do a really long

171

x like as long as you possibly can exhale but you're going to hum at the same time

172

the reason why is because the hum the vibration in your chest actually stimulates your vagus nerve

173

and that is actually the vagus nerve then turns on your parasympathetic nervous system

174

which is the calm cool collected side of your nervous system so you go from fight or flight to breathing really deeply, humming a few times, letting it roll.

175

You can hum in the bathroom.

176

No big deal.

177

You don't have to hum a song.

178

Just something like that.

179

And you could do it five, 10, 15 times and you'll start to notice your body will calm down.

180

And so you want to focus on your breath and learn how to self-soothe.

181

This creates a buffer between their actions and your emotional state.

182

So you might need to go to the bathroom a lot during family events.

183

It's okay because you're going to go and you're going to go home.

184

You can also use this as a challenge to get better.

185

The only way to get stronger in the gym is to lift heavier.

186

The only way to get stronger emotionally is to go through more emotional things.

187

This is a space for you to work on your own peace and your own happiness.

188

Is it possible to focus on trying not to be triggered? Of course.

189

Is it possible to not be triggered one day?

190

Yes.

191

Why don't you try it out?

192

Try to remove yourself and break the cycle of reactivity.

193

Toxic individuals often really thrive on reactive energy.

194

And so what you want to do is pause instead of reacting.

195

They're expecting you to react the same way you've reacted your entire life.

196

Take a pause before answering, before saying anything.

197

Not responding or responding different than normal tends to diffuse the situation because you're not showing up the way they expect to.

198

And over time, when you just refuse to engage in the old toxic patterns that have been existing for a long time,

199

it discourages them from pushing your buttons.

200

And usually what they do is because they thrive on that energy, they usually go to somebody else.

201

And so you might be pushing your toxic family member onto another family member that you love.

202

Maybe they should listen to this episode as well, but you got to protect your own mental health, right?

203

And being triggered can piss you off if you look at it incorrectly.

204

But I've said this hundreds of times in the podcast, and I want you to really, really understand it.

205

Where you are triggered, you're not free.

206

You're stuck in some place, in some sort of fear or some sort of limiting belief or something.

207

When somebody triggers you, it's showing you where you're not free.

208

That's a gift.

209

That is the universe or God or life or source

210

or whatever it is you believe in coming to you in this moment through

211

that person to give you a lesson on where you are caught up in life

212

and where you still need to work on yourself.

213

And in that moment, class is in session.

214

So before going to an event, like a family event or a work event

215

or somewhere you know there's going to be a toxic person that you can't really get away from, practice grounding techniques to stay calm before.

216

And then practice those grounding techniques when you're in those difficult moments, the deep breathing, the humming,

217

the visualizing yourself as an observer rather than a participant in the conversation.

218

They can be standing in front of you and you can disassociate, not in an unhealthy way,

219

but disassociate yourself and try to see yourself from a third person looking at this conversation being like, wow, this person's really trying their best to trigger this other person.

220

Wow, that other person, they're doing a really good job not triggering themselves.

221

And you're removing yourself mentally and emotionally from this situation.

222

When you say things and you remind yourself of stuff like, hey, their behavior says more about them than it does me.

223

It has nothing to do with me.

224

you can remove yourself from it.

225

And so you need to focus on what is it you can control.

226

Let go of this need to fix toxic family members, right?

227

Stop trying to fix people.

228

You're not going to fix them.

229

I promised you that.

230

It's hard enough to fix yourself.

231

Imagine trying to fix another person.

232

Shift your attention into the small joys of holidays and being around family,

233

like cooking your favorite dish or move in the house to somebody else and spend quality time with that non-toxic family member.

234

Limit your exposure with that person as much as you possibly can.

235

And then the last thing I think is really important is to have an exit strategy where

236

if you need to get out You can get out like create a plan for leaving the environment

237

if it becomes too toxic, you know drive yourself Don't drink drinking usually makes emotions worse drive yourself

238

so that you can leave at any time

239

If you need to you can

240

if you drive with somebody else you can prearrange a signal with a family member

241

or a friend If you need an excuse to step away at

242

that moment It's you need to normalize self-preservation taking care of yourself isn't rude.

243

It's necessary

244

And so what I want you to do is listen to this episode

245

and start to make a plan of how you're gonna go

246

into events where you know toxic people are going to be

247

and learn to start removing yourself from the situation and stop being triggered.

248
