Hey listeners,

This week, I am tackling a concept that I think many of us are all too familiar with...overfunctioning!

This refers to taking on more tasks than one can handle due to anxiety and the belief that nobody else can do them as well. I often see this play out in romantic relationships, work settings and family dynamics.

The overfunctioner may feel stretched thin and may express anger or frustration, creating a toxic environment. I discuss the symptoms which include fear of failure, perfectionism, neglecting personal needs, strained relationships, and physical symptoms like chronic pain. Living in fear and anxiety takes a toll on our mental and physical well-being.

I provide a few helpful tips at the end if this is an area that you desire to challenge within yourself so you can have a balanced and nourishing life.
