Would you call yourself a people pleaser? Do you often feel responsible for the emotions of others? Are you trying to get someone in your life to make some changes or appreciate you more-but they won't and you try harder? Does it feel like your ability to feel ok is directly affected by someone else's mood? Are you so focused on the needs of others that you don't know what you want or need?
Are you starting to get resentful, angry, anxious or depressed because the harder you work, the worse you feel?
You may be OVERfunctioning in your relationships. What once helped you to feel secure, loved and connected isn't working anymore.
Adaptations like OVERfunctioning are skills that can be developed to help us to get our needs met or avoid conflict. At some point you may find that it seems to stop working. If you think about it, you probably have your "lens out," scanning to see what your environment wants from you. You are last on your list if you make it at all. Perfectionism burnout!
I help women to learn why it might have made sense for them to prioritize focus on others in the past. By gaining insight, building new skills and practices and turning your superpower of high attunement toward yourself, you can start to let go of OVERfunctioning.
You are more than your usefulness to others. Your value is in who you are. Come find her!
