@rongike3 жыл бұрын
instead of burning out from it you can learn to channel the energy you sense in their emotions and gain strength from it. that in turn makes them calm down bc their energy is being depleted. but if you burn out then you're letting them have your energy.

"Observe don't absorb"... that's always worked for me. When somebody says something like I lost my child to Sids, gesture your reaction but don't absorb it into your body. Gesture I mean by your hands or your face but let that be your fence around your body. That shows them your empathy, but it doesn't control your emotions. "Free will", says I cannot interfere with their choices, I can listen but not fix them, I can say I know that you will make the right choice for you. Here are tools..etc. then let it go..unplug un attach.

It sucks when it’s your adult child. However, I have realized that he expects me to fix his problems. He doesn’t take responsibility for his poor choices. In fact, he blames me. I’m just so used to being his punching bag. I do things in hopes that “one day” he will get his act together. It has completely stolen my peace. I have to get it back.

This was quite confronting because you've put into words perfect why I had to estrange from my mum. It's impossible to detach from someone's outcomes when they make those outcomes your problem. Things are less clear-cut when a parent repeatedly refuses to help themselves, and expects their child to give up their own future, financial and emotional, indefinitely, to enable the parent's ongoing bad choices (money, in this case). Seeing her spiral and cling to me to meet her emotional needs and deep loneliness was scary, it caused me so much worry and triggered so much shame (me thinking I'm responsible for my parents' misery is deeply ingrained, trauma in early childhood). I guess I'm getting a bit off track from your topic - I think your advice is great, but for non-family situations.

Within the past two days of watching your videos on codependency I have an overwhelming sense of relief and serenity. I relapsed after almost nine years of being clean. It has caused my adult children to shut me out completely. I have 4 grandchildren that I'm not allowed to see. Clean and sober 2 weeks after relapsing in March 2021, they are still avoiding me and not believing in my sobriety and recovery. Your videos have helped me remember that I am not responsible for their responses nor their feelings and emotions All I can do is take care of what's over my own two feet and for the way I show up...clean. it's so difficult to not fall into debilitating guilt who always brings the ugly cousin shame with him. I'm willing to do the work...even if my children refuse to acknowledge that I made a mistake and am trying to heal the core reason I failed them..again. thank you so much for the work you do!!

I worry about my mother so much, she’s struggled with a life long battle with severe depression and hasn’t been able to work since I was 7. She’s expressed to me multiple times that she’s given up on life. I’ve accepted her and we spend time together going for walks in nature, grocery shopping and I encourage her art. But I’m starting to worry about supporting her as she ages (dementia runs in our family). It’s only me, she never dated and there’s no other kids. I’m only just graduating university in my early 30s. I’d love to do a masters or take a job that I’m passionate about but I feel like I should take a boring corporate job because I feel responsible for her and I want to make sure she is ok since she always did her best for me. I’m worried if I ask her she will turn suicidal. It is about me but it’s about her too and it is something within my control, sort of. Am I ungrateful and unrealistic or do I have bad boundaries?

I find the only way I can handle people 'dumping' on me is to create a lot of daylight between me and them . I've been told I'm cold . These same people have no interest in my problems and I have been told a couple of times that I don't have any .

Focusing on my husband-what is he thinking? What is he thinking about me? What can I do to make him happy? A.k.a. what can I do to make him happy so I can be happy! This is when I had to go to my bedroom and shut the door and have a talk with me!!!

I feel that it all depends on my own emotional state. When I am ok with myself and having a beautiful day, others problems will affect me less. If I am already for some reason unwell, any small thing can affect me. I know that some people are naturally not so connected to their emotional life (less empathy not in a bad way but in a self-protective way), thus they are not disturbed at all either by others good or bad stories. I am learning that suffering with or for others is not helpful, and wanting others to suffer with us is selfish! If you are a well-balanced, healthy and emotionally mature person (which most people are NOT) maybe you can offer support to others, otherwise, run away and let the professionals help the person in need!

Hi I'm Sarah McLeod. I'm new to your channel. I really struggle with this. I care so much about others and so I always get tangled up with everyone else's problems and I have so many of my own. So I get burned out quickly. This video was a great reminder for me. I've heard this before but I still struggle with this.
