Feeling invisible or disrespected?

"Givers" might be dealing with opposite trauma responses.

You care about others and go above and beyond for them, but it never feels like enough.

They might even treat you worse and you can’t understand why?

You assume that if someone was treating you that well, you’d be appreciative and humbled- instead, you are treated like an emotional punching bag.

The silent treatments, the snide remarks, the repeated behaviors that hurt you; when does it end?

There are two common stress and trauma responses that can and often do, coexist. Today, you can just review the blog and take time to think about it. How do the topics or examples relate to you or someone you love? Note that the blog is framed toward females, as this is most common in females, I find—but it is ALSO something men go through— for men— the more self-aware and not buying into the societal norms of men being closed off, the more you will relate.d

After you read the blog, you may want to ask an anonymous question here

Then, on Friday, I will be recapping the week with the same topic with some letters, podcast and strategies to go into your weekend with victory and positivity.

Peacefully,
