Self-Support Fatigue

Self-Support Fatigue happens in those of us who had too much responsibility as children, whether caring for others, having to figure things out on our own, not being supported, and being in any kind of dysfunctional family. It can sabotage so many things and most people don't even realize it's underlying much of their "laziness", resistance, non-compliance, and resentment. It can make us hyper-independent or, the other extreme, overly needy.
It can sabotage our efforts in personal growth and healing and the people we work with may not realize this is even happening. Self-Sabotage Fatigue can permeate every area of our lives and people dealing with it often have a lot of negative self-talk and judgment. But there is a way to deal with it and it doesn't have to involve you doing even more self-support!

Powerful! I had compassion fatigue and it was debilitating. Your naming this is allowing me to directly provide guidance, to bring love and discernment into a part that thinks being judgmental and critical helps. The judger undermines!!! And the dilemma is debilitating. Wowza! Much to contemplate ! Sooo good. Thank you.

Thank you, this was really helpful. I'm experiencing this and have some of this awareness and tools, but this was organizing and clarifying for me.
