Break the gossip cycle
Manage episode 429721325 series 3578620
Gossiping is often portrayed as a bonding moment between close friends but that perception is just not accurate. In this episode, Dr. Angela Downey unpacks the harmful effects of gossiping, such as damaging trust and relationships, and explores why people gossip to seek validation or control. She also offers strategies to avoid gossip; including setting boundaries, promoting positivity, and directly addressing gossip when it occurs. Codependents have a very difficult time resisting gossip but we can work on it. Dr. Downey encourages us to build our self-esteem to reduce the inclination to gossip. As always, there’s a self reflection practice at the end of the episode to start us on our way.
