Unveiling the Alpha Child: Healing People Pleasing, Over-Responsibility and Anxiety

Sorry i've been away for the last few weeks.

I've been in Europe doing some promotion for the book and the MBRX program and then I got sick... 

This week's episode I delve into the topics of over-dependence, over-responsibility, people pleasing, and the concept of alpha children. I talk about how we learn to read other people's needs when we are children and slowly neglect our own and how this self neglect and lack of self-care becomes an insidious and destructive program that separates us from our own selves internally and creates a tremendous amount of alarm. 

Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.

P.S My ability to look after myself has increased exponentially, and I can still feed my need to help others by writing my book ANXIETY RX and creating MBRX while at the same time looking after myself.

How Responsible Are You For Others Emotions?

Many people with anxiety and alarm have a common trait of feeling overly responsible for the emotions of others.

As someone who has experienced this myself, I know it can stem from childhood experiences where we felt the need to take care of our parents.

It is a very anxiety provoking situation to be in control of YOUR OWN EMOTIONS let alone those of your parents, partners and children.

 

In this episode, I want to draw attention to how you leave your own emotional needs to automatically and reflexively look after others, and how that just makes you more anxious and alarmed.

 

We will explore how to identify and break free from the pattern of automatically putting others first, so that you can take care of your own emotional needs while still being there for the important people in your life.

Orienting To Pleasure For Growth

When we have trauma as children our nervous system often learns that life is about avoiding pain as opposed to attending to pleasure.

In other words, we adopt an unconscious strategy of chronically seeking survival instead of enjoying our growth.

As we grow up, automatically, unconsciously and reflexively attuning to potential threats became a "default setting" in our mind and body that keeps us trapped in anxiety and alarm.

We must first be aware of this unconscious default setting to pain and begin to make the CONSCIOUS INTENTION to attend and attune to pleasure instead.

In this change in conscious intention towards growth and pleasure, we begin to overwrite the unconscious setting of protection.

Rising Above Anxiety: Breaking Free From VICTIM MENTALITY

I've never met ANYONE who suffered from chronic anxiety and didn't see themselves as a victim, including and especially ME.

For the most part, anxious people were victims of trauma or unresolved emotional pain and our nervous system was trained to be on defense, which will never allow us to heal from anxiety.

To heal, we must see our victim mentality and go TOWARDS our fears and not retreat from it.
