Women who Love too Much Community Group
WHEN BEING IN LOVE, MEANS BEING IN PAIN... This group is to help women through the journey of realizing they can love themselves. To help realize that they are capable of having a happy, healthy, whole relationship and break the cycle of abuse and heartache from loving emotionally unavailable men.
Your post was so self-aware and mindful. The dynamics of a woman who loves too much is complex, as I believe it intersects with all personality types. Ultimately, tho, I think that loving too much is not accepting others for who they truly are and trying to change that person to suit us. It’s being so focused on the needs of others that we neglect our own needs. I found out about this 10 years ago and while knowing this has been beneficial, the tendency to operate in this manner is still my default. I’m much less inclined to feel I have to hang on to a relationship at all costs, however, and it’s not such a struggle to step back as it used to be. Having this knowledge has at least made me aware.
Are you familiar with Melanie Tonya Evans? She’s Australian and has YouTube segments. You can also purchase modules from her tho I don’t recommend it unless money isn’t an issue, as it’s pricey and most of the information can be procured via YouTube. It's difficult to find a therapist who is familiar with the book, but if you can Find one who
Is experienced in codependency issues it might be beneficial. I’ve found that connecting onto this forum has provided a good deal of emotional support, tho the dialogue in the main forum waxes and wanes. Feel free to send me a friend request, and I encourage other members of the forum to reach out to you.
Again, welcome. It sounds like you’ve been doing a lot to connect with your inner self, which is all key in recovery from putting the needs of others before our own (when it’s to our detriment). Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
