Codependency in Relationships, Over-Giving & Self-Abandonment
Codependency in Relationships, Over-Giving & Self-Abandonment
Have you ever poured your heart, energy, and effort into a relationship—only to feel invisible, exhausted, or never quite “enough”?
In this compassionate episode, Nicola Beer explores the hidden patterns behind codependency, over-giving, and emotional self-abandonment in love. These aren’t just bad habits—they’re survival strategies, often rooted in childhood roles like the caretaker, fixer, or peacemaker. And while they may have kept you safe once, they can now leave you feeling empty and disconnected in your relationships.
Inside this episode, you’ll discover:
Why you might be stuck in the cycle of over giving and under-receiving
The real reason people-pleasing feels impossible to stop
The emotional cost of losing yourself in love
What childhood roles (like The Responsible One or The Golden Child) have to do with your current relationship dynamics
How to begin healing—without shame, blame, or swinging to the other extreme
Real client stories of people who reclaimed their voice, boundaries, and self-worth
What to do if your partner can’t or won’t meet you in the changes you’re making
Whether you’re currently in a relationship or navigating your healing alone, this episode offers deep insight and gentle guidance for anyone ready to stop over-functioning and start receiving the love they long for—beginning with themselves.
