Why Self-Parentified Adults Struggle with Healthy Relationships
You’re independent and capable. You’ve built a life that works, and you don’t need anyone to hold your hand through it.
So why do relationships feel so exhausting?
Maybe you’re always the one holding things together.
Maybe you keep ending up with partners who take more than they give.
Or maybe someone wonderful is standing right in front of you, offering real love, and something in you wants to run the other way.
If you grew up having to be your own source of comfort and emotional support, relationships in adulthood can feel like navigating a foreign country without a map. The skills that helped you survive childhood—self-reliance, emotional control, and not needing anyone—don’t exactly set you up for the vulnerability that healthy relationships require…
Preventing Burnout: 5 Small Ways to Boost Your Energy
I don't know about you, but this is the time of year where I feel like I can actually slow down and catch my breath. The start of a new year is full of promise, resolutions or not. And we tend to make it an opportunity to start fresh, and practice better habits.
It's also a time where we can address burnout.
It's completely normal to feel tired, run down or like you need a break after the hectic holidays - travelling, spending time with family, missing someone who is not in your life any more - there is a lot to contend with!
But if you notice your tiredness goes well beyond the normal - you may be dealing with burnout, or approaching it.
The good news is that there is something you can do about it. And this is a great time of year to go back to basics and reset any bad habits that got you here…
One Positive Action
Love Languages in Action
Everyone feels cared for in different ways. Learning how someone best receives care can change the way a relationship feels, moving the focus from what feels natural for you to what actually reaches them. We often miss that the way someone shows love is usually the way they want to receive it too.
When you give people care in the way that actually lands for them, it means so much more than when we just do what's easy for us. Maybe you’ve been trying all these different ways to love people and it just isn’t landing. It can be disheartening, but maybe you aren’t speaking yo them in a way they understand.
This kind of intentional effort helps grow and strengthen your connections. It shows that you see the person for who they are, not just how you tend to express love. This awareness builds stronger, more balanced relationships because both people feel recognized in the ways that matter to them most.
Choose one person today and think about how they receive care best. Then, offer one small gesture that speaks directly to that. At the end of the day, you don’t need to be perfect, you just need to be present, and intentional about loving people in the way they understand it.
