EP214 From the Vault: 135 What We Do to Keep People Out: Self-Abandonment Rescuing and Other Fun Behaviors.

In this episode we pulled from the vault, we get honest. Honest about some of the ways we can hide in our relationships, and even to the extent that we lose who we are and create enmeshment which just leads to resentment.  We talk about self-abandonment, and the different ways we can play that out.  When we do these things, we aren’t vulnerable, and we especially aren’t being emotionally honest with ourselves or others.  This hurts our connections and hurts our self-esteem.
