From Over-Giving to Receiving: How She Learned to Trust Herself Again

“I just want to be the passenger.”

That’s what she told me when we first began working together.

She was exhausted. Always caring for others, always giving more than she had, always managing every detail because she thought “no one else could.”

And yet, she longed for someone to show up for her. To support her. To let her lean back and rest.

So we began where I always begin: by creating safety.
Safety in her body, safety to feel her emotions without being shut down, and safety to finally speak what she wanted.

And something remarkable happened.

After a few weeks, she realized she had been surrounding herself with people who were unsafe, because deep down, she didn’t believe she could trust her own voice or her own intuition.

She didn’t trust herself to ask for what she needed, to speak up, or to choose differently.

And the moment she started to reclaim that trust, she skipped right to the part where she knew: I deserve better.

By the end of her sixth session, she told me she felt an entirely new emotion pouring from her heart.

She no longer had the compulsion to caretake. Or the fantasy to sit on the sidelines.

Instead, she wanted to create, alongside her partner. And more importantly, she wanted to be an active participant in her life.

Today, she’s cut ties with those who only took from her.
She’s traveling abroad.
She’s beginning a new hobby she had always wanted to try, but had never given herself permission to pursue.

Because when you learn to trust yourself, your voice, your intuition, your worth, then you stop choosing people who drain you.

You start choosing those who can meet you, support you, and create alongside you.

This is exactly the work we’ll be diving into next series at the Lucid Hour.

Starting next week, we have a brand new hypnotic series on moving beyond over-giving so you can learn to receive fully.

We begin next Thursday.

Join us now, and start building relationships that actually nourish you.
