Saying No When You Want To: Summer Walker Therapy | Stay Mentally Dope

<p>In this episode, we are talking about the song ‘No’ by Summer Walker. We are talking about what it looks like when you have been saying ‘yes’ in a relationship and decide to start saying ‘no’. We want to discuss what it can look like to change up how you show up in relationships and start creating boundaries. It can be hard out here in these boundaries and ‘No’ streets. Join, Charmaine and Jasmine- two therapists, in this episode as we discuss this song and what we feel like it means for mental health and black culture. </p><p>Summer Walker No: https://share.google/MzKO7YqvrE3J29EDKBeyonce Yes: https://youtu.be/JqXwmATxYUw?si=QTB7I2C-1pPmDTAQ00:00 intro01:30 song overview02:15 The consequences of saying no to your loved ones05:58 why not having boundaries is rewarded08:26 Is your self-worth in what you do or who you are?16:18 What do therapists wish people knew or understood about boundaries?19:35 How can you know if you are keeping the peace instead of telling the truth?26:10 Why is saying no so hard?
