  • Examples of how we overfunction in relationships, the workplace & other areas of life
  • How overfunctioning impacts us overtime 
  • How to know the difference between doing something you WANT vs. something you HAVE to
  • What to do if you've created a "tit for tat" dynamic in your relationship
