The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins

#199 When Responsibility Turns into Resentment and Desire Disappears


Listen Later

You were praised for being the responsible one. The girl who kept the peace, remembered everyone's birthday, got straight A's, and picked up everyone else's slack. That praise felt like love, but it wasn't love for who you are; it was love for what you did.

Now you're the woman holding everything together. You make the meals while your partner plays with the kids. You manage the emotions in the household, plan the therapy sessions, hold the structure, and wonder why you feel exhausted, disconnected, and resentful.

Responsibility as a super trait makes you indispensable but not irresistible. It keeps you safe but blocks intimacy, polarity, and pleasure. You can't control or plan your way into desire. What once protected you is now preventing you from being met.

Let's unpack how responsibility becomes emotional labor, how it starts in childhood, and how it shows up in adult relationships as overgiving, people-pleasing, and exhaustion. You'll learn why your nervous system doesn't feel safe resting, why responsibility feels automatic, and how to stop confusing usefulness with love.

If you've been the woman who holds it all together but feels unseen, unloved, or unfulfilled, this is your reminder that what kept you safe is not what will make you happy.

Take the FREE Super Trait Quiz HERE to see how responsibility shows up in your relationships or apply for private coaching to start rebuilding your sense of safety, power, and desire.
