Do you ever lie awake thinking, why do I feel like I'm too much for him? If you have learned to make your feelings small and your needs quiet to keep the peace, this episode is for you.
Dr. Dar gently separates the feeling of being too much from the verdict you have quietly passed on yourself, and shows you the real, unmet need hiding underneath the shame, and why naming that need changes everything.
In this episode: why too much is a feeling and not a fact about you; why the verdict goes unchallenged when you argue it alone in your own head; what the feeling is actually protecting; and why you never get closer by getting smaller.

If you found your way here, something probably brought you. Maybe you give so much to the people you love, and lately you've felt confused, or unseen, or like you're the one holding most of the emotional weight in your relationship. If that's you, I'm so glad you're here. You're in the right place.
This is a space for women who feel things deeply and think things through. Women who want to understand what's really going on in their relationship before they make any big decisions. You're not asking for too much. And you don't have to make sense of any of this on your own.
