If you're the person who always steps in when someone is struggling — who manages the energy in the room, talks people down, absorbs what others can't hold — this episode is going to name something you may never have had words for. Over-responsibility isn't about taking on too many tasks. It's the belief, wired in from childhood, that other people's emotional states are yours to fix. I share a personal story about my mum that cracked open a pattern I've been carrying my whole life, and break down what it actually costs you — and what it looks like to finally put it down.The Unburdened Heart Program: https://marinayt.com/the-unburdened-heartWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"As I sensed her overwhelm, I could feel myself shutting my own emotions down. My own fear just got locked up. My body constricted. I tightened. And I talked her through it for two hours.""It is not your job to regulate another person's emotions. And I say that with love — and also with the full weight of someone who has spent a lifetime doing exactly that.""The fear of abandonment is always going to be there. Your work is not to get rid of it. It's to increase your tolerance for that discomfort — and then behave differently.""Only a child can be abandoned. When you remember that in your mind, it's not enough — because your body is still feeling it. That's why this has to be somatic.""A life of feeling responsible for everybody's emotions is not just exhausting. It literally leads to disease.
