When Empathy Becomes Self Abandonment

Are you the one who always understands why people treat you poorly… so you let it slide?
You see their wounds, their trauma, their stress — and because you’re so deeply empathetic, you forgive and forget… even when it hurts.

In this episode of the Lyssn Podcast, Alyssa uncovers the hidden cost of over-empathy: self-abandonment.
We explore:
✨ Why empaths often put their own needs last✨ The link between attachment styles, childhood emotional safety, and the fawn response✨ How we've lost the art of holding people accountable and moved too quickly to "just cut them off"✨ Practical tools to honour yourself and reclaim your power without losing your softness✨ A powerful Pivot Point that will help you reclaim your voice and stop shrinking in relationships✨ A gentle Whisper from Within to guide you back to your truth

If you’ve been giving away your power in the name of love or understanding, this is your wake-up call to come home to yourself with compassion, courage, and clarity.
