In this highlight from The Dr. Cloud Show, Melissa, a personal trainer is working with some loyal clients that she has trained for a very long time. She has worked with them for so long that the relationship has moved from trainer to trainee into one of a mutual friendship. Although Melissa is thankful for the steady business, her clients now think that because they have become friends they do not have to work as hard, thus violating a boundary for Melissa. How can she speak the truth with love and address some of these issues without causing conflict in these close relationships? Dr. Cloud reminds us that we lose freedom when someone is in control of us and our emotions, and if we're going to be the most helpful to somebody, we have to be ok with them walking away if they don't do, or like what we've said.
