Overgiving Is NOT Who You Are

Have you ever found yourself overgiving in relationships, constantly caring for others, hoping (maybe unconsciously) to be loved in return?

In this episode, I explore what’s really behind this pattern and why overgiving, merging, or people-pleasing are not personality traits, but survival strategies rooted in emotional trauma.

I share a client example, guide you through a short somatic practice to connect with your body and inner child, and explain how the nervous system adapts when love and attunement are missing in childhood.

You'll hear:

• Why overgiving often masks a deep fear of not being lovable as you are

• How to begin reconnecting with your needs and your worth

• Insights from somatic experiencing trauma therapy

• Journaling prompts to go deeper with this theme

Overgiving is not who you are — it’s what you learned to stay connected and safe. Let’s gently begin to untangle that, together.
