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
