People Pleasing & Caregiver Burnout

No one can endlessly give without receiving. Yet, you may have been conditioned to believe that you must always put others’ needs ahead of your own, take responsibility for others’ happiness, and only allow yourself rest after everyone else is taken care of—an impossible task that leads to constant exhaustion.

Perhaps you work in a caregiving profession, are involved in activism, are raising children or caring for a sick or elderly loved one. Maybe you’re the person everyone turns to when they need something, but no one notices when you need help. You want to continue to show up for the people and causes that you care about but at times it feels like you’re sacrificing yourself in the process.

You may be experiencing:

  • Difficulty setting boundaries or saying no
  • Trouble identifying and prioritizing your own needs
  • A lack of support and understanding from those around you
  • Symptoms of overwhelm, vicarious trauma, and burnout
  • Feeling like you’re only worthy when serving others
