Are you losing yourself in your relationships? Many women are taught that love means self-sacrifice — that closeness means always being available, always saying yes and always putting others first.
The honest truth is that true connection — in any type of relationship from family to romantic — doesn’t require losing your identity.
Here’s how to create healthy, interdependent, cohesive relationships:
- Understand what enmeshment is. If your relationships drain you, leave you feeling guilty or make you feel responsible for someone else’s emotions — you might be enmeshed.
- Clarify your boundaries. Love doesn’t mean saying yes to everything. High-value women know when to say no.
- Shift into interdependence. The healthiest relationships allow both people to be fully themselves while supporting each other.
