016 - You Take Care of Everyone – Except Yourself | Self-Love, Self-Abandonment & Emotional Resilience

from Elephant and Kiwi - from functioning to feeling - Nervous System, Awareness, Emotional Patterns · host Eva Herzog

You function. You care. You manage.And somewhere along the way, you stopped making the list yourself.In this episode I talk about self-love – not the bubble bath version, but the real one. The kind that's missing when your inner critic is louder than anything else. The kind that's missing when you knew you wanted to say no – and said yes anyway.Self-love is often confused with selfishness. It isn't. It's also not self-sacrifice. It sits right in between – and for many women, it's the missing foundation underneath everything else.This episode covers:– What self-love actually is – and what it definitely is not– How a lack of self-love shows up in daily life: the inner critic, self-abandonment, people pleasing, high-functioning exhaustion– Why our nervous system often experiences self-love as unsafe– The Best Friend Test – a simple tool you can use right now– How emotional patterns and early experiences shape our inner relationship with ourselves– The role of the subconscious, stress response and nervous system in lasting self-worth– And why the treasure isn't gone – just buriedSelf-love isn't a destination you arrive at once. It's a path – and sometimes it helps to have someone walk it with you.I'm Eva, hypnosis coach, and I support women in moving from functioning to feeling – back to themselves, with more ease and less inner resistance.📺 Follow me on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@elephantandkiwi📖 Read the full article on Substack → https://elephantandkiwi.substack.com/p/you-take-care-of-everyone-except?r=7p3jgq📩 Book a free discovery call → https://zcal.co/elephantandkiwi/20min#SelfLove #SelfAbandonment #EmotionalResilience #NervousSystem #EmotionalPatterns #Overwhelm #Exhaustion #InnerCritic #PeoplePleasing #HighFunctioningAnxiety #Subconscious #InnerChild #SomaticHealing #HypnosisCoach #MentalHealth
