Ep 31 ~ When Love Costs You: Overgiving & Self-Abandonment
The Program
Overgiving isn’t the love language that we think it is.
.
It is a deeply embedded nervous system pattern.
.
In this episode of Alchemy with Sheeana Leigh, we’re having a best-friend level conversation about overgiving, self-abandonment, and why so many women end up exhausted, anxious, and disconnected from their bodies inside relationships.
.
This isn’t about being “too much,” too emotional, or bad at love (which is basically the paradigm we have been fed our entire lives).
.
It’s about how the female nervous system adapts to stay safe, often by fawning, pleasing, anticipating, and putting everyone else first.
.
We explore:
》 Why overgiving is often a trauma response, not a personality trait
》 How self-abandonment shows up in the body (fatigue, anxiety, loss of desire, burnout)
》 The link between overgiving, the nervous system, and women’s health
》 Why eroticism and aliveness disappear when you’re constantly managing someone else
》 How overgiving actually trains others not to show up
》 Simple, embodied ways to interrupt this pattern without becoming cold, guarded, or shut down
.
This episode is for the woman who loves deeply…
but is tired of betraying herself in the process.
.
You’re ready for a different way of relating.
