The Invisible Labor Of Letting Someone Off The Hook

This talk explores the quiet emotional and mental work involved in excusing, explaining, and absorbing someone else’s behaviour to keep the peace. We look at how “letting someone off the hook” often shifts responsibility away from the person who caused harm and onto the person who is already carrying the relationship. This episode invites you to notice where this labour shows up in your life, why it can feel so automatic, and what changes when you stop doing it.

Thanks Martha. The good thing I'm learning is boundaries so others will know what I'm prepared to accept. Bad behaviour is not one of them.

Namaste 🙏❤️💚💚💜🧡🤍🌻🌺⚘️💐🪻💜

Another gold mine Martha!! I journal on these talks and do a whole session with myself. Thank you
