Published: Aug. 17, 2023, 3:31 a.m.

b'If you are a caregiver type or your relationship is somewhat uneven, this is an episode aimed at looking inward. It\\u2019s for seeing your role in how the imbalance is created. TBC, this is about becoming aware. Not making big moves or changes. Just simple curiosity and awareness. This is an episode that is going to challenge you!\\nThere\\u2019s this totally unconscious thing that happens as you are revealed next to someone. We start to feel vulnerable and with that, we seek control. This is when we start to do more and give more as a means of feeling more secure. It\\u2019s to abate feelings of \\u201cless-than.\\u201d\\nIf you are someone who gets too wrapped up in the thoughts or feelings of others then I think this episode will resonate with you. This also extends to feeling like you need others to act a certain way, or feeling like you are doing it all and the other person in your relationship is not doing enough.\\xa0In other words, getting stuck in a caregiver role or a role where you are the one who is overactive, and they are the one who is under-active.\\n\\xa0What it really comes down to is not being able to accept the truth of someone as they are. In that denial there is some overcompensation that occurs which leads to feeling really angry at them for not being the way you want them to be.\\nSo that\\u2019s where this episode is focused!
