56. When the Fear of Being “Too Much” Starts Controlling Your Relationships

In this week’s insight episode, I talk about what happens when the fear of being “too much” starts controlling the way we show up in our relationships. This episode is the realization that sometimes, anxiety controls our behavior along with our emotions. I share some of the ways fear can turn emotions into panic, urgency, hypervigilance, and self-protection, and how healing is about learning to stay connected to ourselves without letting fear become our identity.🌙 In this episode, I share:How fear of abandonment can change the way we act in relationshipsWhy people are often more overwhelmed by our panic than our emotions themselvesHow hypervigilance & over-explaining can reinforce the fear that we are “too much”A reminder that healing is not becoming less emotional, but learning how to stay grounded while feeling our emotions📓 Journal prompt of the week:What emotions do I tend to turn into stories about myself or how others feel about me?✍️ My Poetry & Reflections Notion Page:https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link🌐 My Socials:All my links in one place: https://linktr.ee/morgansneedInstagram: @morgansneeddTikTok: @morgansneed🎙 Want to start your own podcast?I host with RSS and love how easy it is to use.Start your podcast here: https://rss.com/?via=4df2a8If you sign up through this link, it helps support the show!💌 Want to contact me directly?Email me: youatyourbestpodcast@gmail.comNeed Advice?
