Ep. 36: Why You Feel Disposable in Relationships

If a relationship is built on you being boundary-less or not having needs, suddenly having boundaries or communicating your needs can end that relationship. It can upset the boundary pushers in your life and leave you feeling disposable, like you're only valued when you're giving, or that relationships stop or change when you stop over-functioning. That feeling of disposability doesn't mean you’re unlovable or you weren't worth holding onto, it means there's a pattern there. In this episode, we’re talking about why that feeling of disposability happens, which parts of you are being activated, and how the boundary pyramid can help you reclaim your worth without hardening, shutting down, or feeling victimized. I’m also giving you five compassionate internal shifts that will move you out of over-functioning and into worth-based relating. Your inner child wasn’t wrong about wanting connection, they were confused about who to offer it to. You are not hard to love, you're just done being loved in ways that are not in alignment with you, and through this boundary work you can start to form connections that leave you feeling safe, appreciated, and understood. ResourcesWebsite: robinbreckenridge.comInstagram: @coachwithrobinTikTok: @robinbreckenridgeYouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge
