Ep 31 ~ When Love Costs You: Overgiving & Self-Abandonment
from Alchemy with Sheeana Leigh · host sheeana.leigh
Overgiving isn’t the love language that we think it is. .It is a deeply embedded nervous system pattern..In this episode of Alchemy with Sheeana Leigh, we’re having a best-friend level conversation about overgiving, self-abandonment, and why so many women end up exhausted, anxious, and disconnected from their bodies inside relationships..This isn’t about being “too much,” too emotional, or bad at love (which is basically the paradigm we have been fed our entire lives)..It’s about how the female nervous system adapts to stay safe, often by fawning, pleasing, anticipating, and putting everyone else first..We explore:》 Why overgiving is often a trauma response, not a personality trait》 How self-abandonment shows up in the body (fatigue, anxiety, loss of desire, burnout)》 The link between overgiving, the nervous system, and women’s health》 Why eroticism and aliveness disappear when you’re constantly managing someone else》 How overgiving actually trains others not to show up》 Simple, embodied ways to interrupt this pattern without becoming cold, guarded, or shut down.This episode is for the woman who loves deeply…but is tired of betraying herself in the process..You’re ready for a different way of relating..Ways to work with me and current mentorship spaces are linked in the show notes.www.sheeanaleigh.com www.sheeanaleigh.com/pleasurecodes Buy me a coffee
