Deep dives
Understanding Emotional Outsourcing
Emotional outsourcing is defined as the tendency to chronically seek validation and a sense of worth from external sources, such as others, rather than cultivating it from within. This phenomenon often stems from unmet emotional needs during childhood, leading to reliance on others for safety, belonging, and self-worth. As individuals engage in these behaviors unknowingly, it can have detrimental effects on their mental and emotional well-being. The speaker shares a personal journey of overcoming this issue by recognizing these patterns, ultimately fostering a healthier, more authentic relationship with oneself.
