Gimme gimme more
4. Key insight
-
The common thread: your nervous system is trained to over-give to keep love or approval, because early attachment experiences taught you: love = survival = giving.
-
Once you recognize the pattern, you can begin to see these relationships clearly, without blaming yourself, and make choices that protect your energy.
5. What protects you
-
Boundaries: physical, emotional, financial
-
Awareness of patterns: spotting manipulation, black-hole behavior, or lack of reciprocity
-
Safe emotional outlets: journaling, therapy, coaching, trusted friends
-
Self-compassion: reminding yourself your giving is a gift, not an obligation
