In this episode, I discuss the dynamic of over-functioning and learned helplessness that often occurs in relationships. I explained how this pattern can lead to feelings of resentment, stress, overwhelm, and powerlessness. I will share my own personal experience with over-functioning and how it was influenced by my upbringing. You can hear me emphasize the importance of recognizing these patterns and breaking the cycle to create healthier, more balanced relationships. Take a listen because I will also offer reflection exercises for listeners to explore their own experiences and roles in these dynamics.
Over-functioning and under-functioning create an unhealthy dynamic in relationships.
Learned helplessness can arise from persistent feelings of powerlessness and failure to succeed.
Reflect on the roles and expectations modeled in your upbringing to gain awareness of your own patterns.
Recognize where you may be over-functioning or under-functioning in your current relationships.
Break the cycle by fostering interdependence and shared responsibility.
