Episode notes
What if the problem isn't that you're too sensitive? What if you've spent so much of you life anticipating other people's needs, managing their emotions, and abandoning yourself in the process that you've mistaken self sacrifice for love? When you're highly sensitive, it's easy to assume that caring means doing for others what you wish they would do for you. You notice everything. You accomodate. You give grace. You make exceptions. You bend. And when someone doesn't do the same for you it can feel like they don't care. But what if they're not uncaring? What if they're simply not abandoning themselves the way you've been abandoning yourself? In this episode, we're talking about the hidden cost of sensitivity, why self abandonment can disguise itself as kindness, and how to step measuring love by how much someone sacrifices for you. We'll explore what it looks like to focus less on what you're not getting and more on what you actually what to create in your relationships and in your life. Healing isn't becoming less sensitive it's learning that caring for yourself counts too.
