#101. Over-giving: When Care, Fear & Guilt collide

We often talk about overgiving as if it’s a behaviour problem as if some people simply give too much.In this episode, I argue something different.Overgiving is not about generosity. It’s about repression.We overgive when giving becomes the place where unspoken things are stored: fear, guilt, lack of distance, loss of self. Instead of naming needs, limits, or responsibility, we give and relationships quietly reorganise around that silence.This episode unpacks different types of overgiving, what is being repressed in each, and the relational consequencesthat follow. I look closely at empathic giving as identification with the one in need, how rescue creates dependence, and why imbalance is often the unintended outcome of care that was never meant to carry so much.This is not an episode about becoming less caring.It’s about learning to give without losing yourself or the relationship.Connect with us: instagram: @evolve_elevate21Email: [email protected]
