You can be kind, loyal, self-aware, and deeply caring and still lose yourself.

In this conversation with therapist, author, and trauma specialist Cynthia Schwartzberg, we explore the subtle ways self-abandonment disguises itself as love, compassion, self-improvement, and being a “good person.”

We talk about why so many people repeat the same relationship patterns, struggle to trust themselves, over-explain their boundaries, and spend years trying to earn a sense of worth that was never supposed to be earned in the first place.

If you’ve ever found yourself people-pleasing, over-functioning, fixing, proving, or putting everyone else’s needs before your own, this episode will help you understand why, and how to start coming back to yourself.
