There is often one person everyone seems to count on.
They remember what needs to happen. They notice when something has shifted. They make the call, find the answer, carry the emotional thread, and somehow keep things moving. Over time, their steadiness becomes part of the structure around them, and people may come to know them through their strength, competence, and ability to be there when they are needed.
Sometimes, somewhere within all of that capability, it becomes harder to remember what it feels like to be held.
I work with many highly sensitive and deeply perceptive people who know this experience well. Their awareness naturally moves toward what is happening around them, and they may notice what another person needs before they have had a chance to notice what is happening within themselves.
There is nothing inauthentic about that care. The question I find myself returning to is what it has required of them to remain so dependable for everyone else, and whether there might be room for care to begin moving in more than one direction.
Perhaps that starts very quietly. A pause before the automatic yes. Recognizing tiredness before pushing through it. Letting someone else carry what belongs to them. Allowing your own experience to become part of the conversation.
You can care deeply and remain connected to yourself.
And perhaps, over time, being someone others can depend on can begin to include becoming someone you can depend on too.
It may be time to lean into a community of others we can depend on too. Join a small circle of trusted guides, teachers, healers, therapists, and inspirational women at the Wholehearted Harvest Summit September 18th:
