How to Let Love In When You’re Used to Doing Everything Alone
Manage episode 493779276 series 3368261
If receiving love, help, or support feels uncomfortable, even though a part of you deeply craves it, this episode is for you.
We’re exploring hyper-independence: where it comes from, how it quietly shapes your relationships, and why control often hides beneath self-reliance.
Whether you tend to overfunction for others, downplay your needs, or keep people at arm’s length, this will hit home.
I’ll walk you through:
- What hyper-independence really looks like (the obvious and less obvious signs)
- The nervous system root of not 'needing anyone'
- How this pattern blocks emotional intimacy, even with the right people
- Why emotional receptivity feels vulnerable, and how to practice it
- A more balanced way to relate: interdependence
Plus: some real-life stories from my own journey, and practical ways to start softening, receiving, and being seen.
If you'd like support healing your relationship patterns, you can book a free 1:1 consultation call with Jenelle.
This is for you if you're in a relationship and would like to overcome blocks, create more depth and intimacy, and fortify your connection, OR you're single and are looking to shift dating/relationship patterns so you can call in the love you want.
