How do you navigate it when you invest a lot into other, but they are unwilling or unable to fulfill your very valid needs? Many empaths and highly sensitive people find themselves struggling with anger and resentment due to these relationship imbalances, but there is hope. 

Join me as we discuss:

• Empathetic Struggles: Highly sensitive individuals tend to give freely but often face unmet needs in return, leading to frustration.
• Emotional Awareness: Learn to acknowledge feelings like anger, resentment, and envy without judgment, using them to gain clarity in relationships.
• Silent Contracts: Discover how unspoken expectations lead to disappointment and how to navigate these dynamics consciously.
• 50/50 Balance of Life: Understand that life is equally positive and negative—disappointment is inevitable, but accepting this truth can bring peace.
• Survival Responses: Learn how disappointment can trigger a fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response.
• Healthy Boundaries: Explore strategies to avoid burnout, such as setting time limits before responding to requests and reassessing energy investments.

Review and Summary: It can be disappointing when others are unwilling or unable to meet our needs. Using how others show up as information rather than a manipulative tactic can help to bring peace and clarity AND get your needs met.
