168 — Navigate Uncomfortable Conversations with Confidence

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

Whether you're dealing with passive-aggressive comments or facing outright rudeness, these powerful scripts can transform these awkward or confrontational moments into opportunities for mental strength. When you have a word-for-word response to inappropriate questions or unsolicited criticism, you empower yourself to stay mentally strong.

Some of the things I share are:

• How to maintain your personal power by finding effective, respectful ways to respond to difficult conversations
• How to assert your boundaries in a helpful way
• How to empower others to find their own solutions
• Strategies for directly moving conversations toward problem-solving rather than unnecessary disputes
• How to prepare your own scripts when you anticipate awkward conversations
