Auto-Advice Giving

Welcome to Day 7 of the 10-Day Boundary Challenge. When someone is talking about a problem they’re having, do you feel immediately compelled to give your thoughts, opinions or previous experience knowledge to help FIX their problem? It is so tempting to give and accept unsolicited advice. In this session, we’re covering why auto-advice giving is a boundary block and what you might say instead.

So good! This course really makes me understands my behaviours even more. I orten get advice on things ex healing from stress/burnout right Now and people can say ”just accept this is How it is”, ”maybe you should exercise more” (when i cant even walk to my freaking kitchen). But also How easy it is for me to give advice ex if somebody i know / or not(!) i can quick go in and tell them advice on relationships, How to take care of themselves - even yesterday i told my boyfriend How to take care of himself/ set boundaires 😂when im the one learning atm… damn😇 but i saw it directly after and just aah it got me🤭its like the things i know, i want to ”help” them by giving them advice. Feels so strange to just sit ”outside”, watch, especially if they dont see what i see?😅

Thank you so much! ❤️ beautiful insights from this

Excellent. This is my greatest challenge. Grew up with unhappy parents who always confided or complained. As a child you will always try to help eliminate a parent's unhappiness. I have carried this into my adulthood. Such an important epiphany.

I am the auto advice giver. Thank you for posting this.

This one ‘s the closest to my heart in all the topics covered in the challenge so far. I have to constantly remind myself not to slip into auto advice mode! Thank you so much for the insights.

Very important to have awareness of this habit. And I really appreciate the suggestions of questions to ask instead of immediately offering advice. Thank you.
