The Hidden Cost Of Losing Yourself In Love | Mid Week Tease

The Hidden Cost of Losing Yourself in LoveHow do intelligent, capable women slowly lose themselves in relationships without even noticing? In this week's Mid Week Tease, Adelle explores the subtle ways many women begin organising their lives around everyone else's needs while quietly losing touch with their own. Drawing from psychology, personal experience, and insights from accredited psychologist Faith Guchu, this episode unpacks the difference between healthy compromise and self-abandonment, why women are often socialised to disappear inside love, and how to begin finding your way back to yourself. If you've ever looked around and wondered, "When did I stop being me?" this conversation is for you.In this episode, we explore:Why losing yourself rarely happens overnightThe difference between healthy intimacy and enmeshmentSelf-Expansion Theory and what happens when love replaces identity instead of expanding itWhy women are often praised for self-sacrificeHow to recognise when compromise has become self-abandonmentGentle ways to begin reconnecting with yourselfJoin Our Upcoming Wellness Talk Divorce Care: When the Marriage Ends, Finding Yourself AgainIf today's episode resonated with you, join us for a deeper conversation with accredited psychologist Faith Guchu.
