Asking for help requires different emotional capacities that I guess I just didn't have at the time: self awareness, patience, self love, boundaries and also, as I'm thinking about this, that list can go on and on- really all of the emotional characteristics that I didn't have at that time.
Ever felt like asking for help is a sign of weakness? In this episode of The Lilli Bewley Podcast, Lilli takes a deep dive into why reaching out for support can be so tough, especially for those dealing with codependency. This episode is part of her Control Series, where she unpacks the intricate relationship between control and the reluctance to ask for help.
Lilli discusses the emotional hurdles—like self-awareness, patience, and setting boundaries—that make it challenging for people who've experienced trauma or abuse to seek assistance. She also touches on how our outward behaviors often mirror our internal self-worth and how martyrdom can be an unhealthy way to feel valued or loved. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Lilli encourages listeners to reflect on their own struggles with asking for help and consider the benefits of seeking support.
Whether you're battling codependency or just find it hard to reach out, this episode offers valuable perspectives on building healthier relationships with yourself and others.
