The Loyalist
The line between responsibility & self-sacrifice blurs for you, leading to internal conflict between your needs & others' expectations.
​
Caught in a loyalty tug-of-war, you prioritize others' needs, leaving your own desires simmering beneath the surface.
The Wound - "I have to do what my parents think is best or right."
Even though I'm in my mid-40s, I still have feelings that I can't do that because my mom would be upset and this shuts down my choices.
Guilt is my constant companion. "I am a good daughter / good son, no matter the cost to me."
The Lesson - I only have one life to live & I am choosing to to live it by doing what is right for me.​​
