Over-Giving & Over-Functioning

Welcome to Day 6 of the 10-Day Boundary Challenge. Over-functioning refers to doing more than your share and being unclear about what IS your responsibility and what’s NOT. The focus of today’s session is to raise your awareness about where you might be over-giving, over-functioning or over-doing and ideas of what to do instead.

Im very curious about this topic. Want to Ask for clarification about a thing. If im healing from codependency and i then overgive A lot (more than i maybe realise - energy, attention, presence etc). Maybe it becomes an expectation for other people to give me as much as i give them? I feel like i can be really frustrated or even dissapointed at people who doesnt give me just as much as i would. Ex healing from burnout atm, if my friends would have been in the same situation i would have called, showed up much more then them. Just an example. Or even in relationships - that what i ”bring” to the table - energy etc is much more then they bring? But maybe this is based on codependency more than a give and take relationship? This is hard to understand for me. Thanks in advance❤️‍🩹

I'm curious about how to navigate this topic with your teen children.
Thank you for your feedback, Terri! I just watched your interview. Very interesting. I'm going to tead both your books😊

Mind blowing new concepts to me. Could be life changing. Thank you.

I recognize myself in giving unsolicited advice. I see over functioning as evidence of mistrust in either the relationship or the handling of the situation

Excellent! Right to the point. Powerful practice to help understand relationships.
