About this listen
Do You Have High-functioning Co-dependence?
Feeling exhausted despite "having it all together"? You might be trapped in high functioning co-dependence. Especially with trauma and ADHD, we’re so conditioned, from a preverbal age, to ignore our own knowledge, wisdom, wants and needs and prioritise others’. And it’s never too late to step into your power.
In this episode, you’ll:
· Learn why capable, independent people often ignore their own needs while constantly caring for others· Learn how the "Good Girl" and "Independent Woman" conditioning keeps us from asking for help, accepting support or even knowing what we truly want· Discover practical tools to break free from the cycle of over-giving· Recognize when you're accepting "floor fries" instead of what you deserve and· give yourself permission to know what you know and want what you want without guilt. (Tomorrow’s Sole to Soul Circle special will dive deeper into this).Stop exhausting yourself trying to be lovable. Remember that you already are worthy. Exactly as you are. You’re totally lovable exactly as you are. You’re enough. You’re not too much and the moment you recognise this, everything gets easier.
