EP135 What We Do to Keep People Out: Self Abandonment, Rescuing and Other Fun Behaviors

Welcome to Episode 135 where we get honest about ways we can try to control outcomes rather than get close to people.

In this episode 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 being vulnerable, and we especially aren’t being emotionally honest with ourselves or others.  This hurts our connections and hurts our self-esteem. 

 

 Key Elements:

• Identify how self-abandonment begins in childhood, and why.
• Address issues of rescuing, enabling and losing sight of our own needs.
• Discuss ways to prevent and address losing yourself in relationships.
