This club will be an exercise in the alchemy of language and psychology as we navigate one of the most common and most dangerous words of all: No! Lily, a practising psychotherapist will be your guide._x000D_

The word "no" is a tough one, it's often a mood-killer and at times, it can hurt relationships, but it's also necessary. How we say it though, changes everything! It's hard for some of us to say no and it's hard for some of us to hear it. Are there ever things you find yourself agreeing to that wish you hadn't? Does getting a no from others make you feel bad? Do you ever wish they phrased it differently? What if you had the agency to disagree with doing the things you didn't want yet still had the power to say it in a positive way?_x000D_

Let's have an open-minded discussion about how we say no. Let's explore situations where it's a necessity. Let's practice ways of saying no with a yes but not in a manner that's fake! This club isn't just about rephrasing a response but rethinking dialogue. Let's have a deep, meaningful and transformative discussion!_x000D_

这个俱乐部将是一次语言和心理学炼金术的练习,因为我们要驾驭最常见和最危险的词之一:不!Lily,这位执业心理治疗师会给你当向导。_x000D_

“不”这个词是一个艰难的词,它经常是一个情绪杀手,有时它会伤害人际关系,但它也是必要的。然而,我们说的方式却改变了一切!对我们中的一些人来说说“不”很难,对我们中的一些人来说听“不”也很难。你有没有发现自己曾经同意过一些你没有实现的愿望?被别人拒绝会让你感觉不好吗?你有没有希望他们换个说法?如果你不同意做你不想做的事情,但仍然有权力以一种积极的方式说出来呢?_x000D_

让我们开诚布公地讨论一下如何说“不”。让我们来看看在哪些情况下这是必须的。让我们练习用“是”来表示“不”的方法,但不要用虚伪的方式!这个俱乐部不仅仅是改写回应,而是重新思考对话。让我们进行一次深刻的、有意义的、具有变革意义的讨论吧!
