The Cost of Being the Strong One: How Hyper-Independence Keeps You Depleted

If you are the person everyone calls when something falls apart, this episode will help you understand why it is so hard to let anyone help you, and what that is costing your body. Britt explores how the strong one gets made, why hyper-independence is usually an attachment strategy rather than a personality trait, and how you can be highly functional and deeply dysregulated at the same time. You will learn why endurance without recovery breaks the system down, why recovery is relational rather than something you do alone, and how to begin communicating a need before your body reaches collapse. Britt also shares insight from her own life that you may recognize in your own. Being needed is not the same thing as being known. You are allowed to be held without first earning it.
