When Does Regulation Turn Into Self-Abandonment?

"I realized I had been tracking the other person very carefully, but I had stopped tracking myself. Nothing went wrong externally, But internally, something had been overridden. And that's the part we rarely talk about."

In this episode, Theresa Hubbard invites listeners to slow down and tune into their own inner compass. The conversation centers around a thought-provoking question: When does regulation—our ability to stay calm and steady—become self-abandonment? Through personal reflection and gentle inquiry, Theresa explores the subtle difference between remaining grounded and quietly stepping away from our own needs in the process of supporting others. With honest storytelling and compassionate guidance, this episode encourages you to notice what arises within and to examine the stories you carry about being calm, safe, or mature.
