Practicing Self-Compassion when Perfection, Competing Needs and Burnout are Present
It can be hard having needs; not getting your needs met; having to compromise around your needs. This can activate attachment injuries, that can cause or exacerbate depression, anxiety, burnout and self-doubt. How do you take care of yourself? How do you bring in self-compassion and self-trust? Do you believe that if you do things a certain way, you can protect yourself from having doubts or negative feelings? I talk about how this showed up for me. I was embarrassed to share it.

133 Stoicism During Hard Times for the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
Stoicism During Hard Times for the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
When there is a crisis, do you reach out and share what’s going on and ask for support? Do you tell yourself that you will worry when there is something to worry about? I share some recent experiences. My son asked me to let him know next time if his Grams is sick because he wants to know. I thought I was protecting him from worrying. There is also a gift in allowing others to be there to support you, so you don’t have to go through things alone.
