How to Address Distorted Responsibility in Relationships

You may have noticed that some clients take the weight of the world on their careworn shoulders.

In this week's video I address over-responsibility as a cause of pain and harm to our clients. I'll give you three strategies to help your self-burdening clients live more freely with less guilt.

I'll share the example of a client I'll call Graham—a man who believed he was responsible for everyone's happiness but his own. We'll explore how this mindset led him to the brink of depression and the steps we took together to redefine his sense of responsibility.

Join me as we uncover the pitfalls of chronic over-responsibility and discover strategies to establish healthier boundaries in our relationships. It's time to let the world float by itself and reclaim our well-being.
