Feeling inauthentic in your relationships.

Do you feel like you can’t fully be yourself around people?

Like you’re always putting on a face for the people around you or saying what you think they want you to say.

Not only are you exhausted but you also feel like you don’t have spaces where you can fully be yourself.

If you find yourself struggling to be authentic in your relationships, there are a couple possible reasons:

1. Your past has taught you that being fully yourself in relationships is UNSAFE. They might leave you or hurt you if they see the full you. You have a role to play in all of your relationships (caretaker, optimist, etc.) and you worry that if you were to break out of that role, no one would need you around anymore.

OR

2. The relationship itself (likely because of the other person’s “stuff”) doesn’t contain the space for you to fully show up as yourself. The other person struggles to create space for you in the dynamic. If you showed up fully as yourself, the equilibrium would be “thrown off” so instead, you just keep the peace.

Or maybe it’s both!

But the good news is that there’s hope to change either of those reasons!
