How to Handle an Overbearing Spouse, Parent or Friend

Many of us, at some point in our lives, have a relationship with someone who seems to want to hover over and smother us; telling us what to do, how to act, and who they think we should be. Whether this type of treatment comes from a spouse, partner, parent or friend, it can seriously make a person crazy, build up all kinds of resentment towards this person, and ultimately make us want to completely avoid being around them.

This week’s video explains how to handle these people in our lives by setting boundaries for how we will ALLOW ourselves to be treated.

Do you have these kinds of people in your life, and if so, what kinds of things have you tried to set boundaries with them? Has it worked? I’d love to hear from you about your experiences with overbearing people in your own life.

What People Are Saying:

Coaching with Edie has been a very positive and motivating experience for me.  Things I kept putting off became my focus, I took action, and accomplished them very quickly with just her asking the RIGHT questions.  I have written down my goals - something I normally don't like to do - and I am seeing my goals being met on a weekly and monthly basis.  When I didn't meet a specific goal I had for the week, she completely took a positive side and we moved forward for the next week.  I knew what I wanted in my life, I just wasn't focusing or putting it to action like I am now.  Thank you Edie for your support, positive influence and the nudges from behind!

Edie really helped me gain a lot of insight into my professional and personal life. It was an eye-opening experience. I look forward to achieving some of the goals that we talked about, and I am confident that I will achieve them with Edie's support and guidance.
