Description

If you value being organized and consistent but are facing unpredictable circumstances, this video addresses the deep and very human struggle of feeling cared for. We explore why carrying a lot of responsibility creates the subconscious belief: "If I don’t hold it together, no one will". This trains your nervous system to be "safer if I don’t rely too much on others", making support feel foreign or unsafe. This resistance is a powerful protection mechanism. Learn how the need to control or past abandonment experiences cause us to perpetuate or prophesy the idea that "I'm not being taken care of" when things don't go our way. Awareness of this pattern is huge, allowing you to begin healing with curiosity and compassion.
