Tired of attracting emotionally intense people? Learn why you became an emotional sponge and discover practical strategies to set boundaries and reclaim your peace
I deeply recognise myself in the nurture-based emotional sponge you describe here.
After having reached a sort of rock bottom around 4 years ago, I intuited that I simply had to start doing some bits and pieces that I now recognise in the tool kit you conclude with here.
Reading this made me feel really happy because it reflected my fumbling experiences at self preservation back to me as strategies based in some measure of wisdom.
I am very grateful for having read this piece - it feels like a way marker of sorts, affirming that I’m headed in the right direction 🥰
Hi Jenny. Thank you for sharing this; I'm glad if it helped you confirm that you were on the right track. Inner chaos is defeated by consistent determination. Well done!
Thank you. You're absolutely right. Small steps done with awareness and intent compound to lead you in the right direction and correct whatever dysfunctional behaviors we had the habit of perpetuating.
Thank you soooo so much for this!!
