Ep 149 Q&A Session: Acts of Service vs Micromanaging

Q&A Session: Acts of Service vs Micromanaging is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners. In today’s episode we’re answering a question regarding how to manage over-functioning when your love language is acts of service. What do you do when you want to make your partner’s life easier, but end up micromanaging?We’re discussing:Getting honest with your motivation to determine if you’re operating from a true desire to show them they’re loved, or if you’re creating environments in an attempt to make your own life easier and/or soothe your anxieties.Finding the balance of showing up authentically in your relationship and not being resentful when those acts of service aren’t always returned. Are you operating from a place of love rather than a place of transaction or condition?Establishing boundaries in your relationship that allow each of you to show up in a way that feels good for you both.If you have a question or topic you’d like us to address, we would love to hear from you for our new Q+A series!

Om Podcasten

Vanessa Bennett and Dené Logan are two soul sisters and therapists who connected over their shared love of depth psychology—known as the psychology of the soul. It is a template for diving beneath the surface to examine the complex natures of being human while on the quest for wholeness, including the relationship to spirit.Through their training and lived experiences with depth, yogic psychology, and mindfulness, they developed a passion for supporting others in living their most authentic lives while cultivating a fulfilling and rich relationship with the Self, capital “S.”Every Wednesday, Vanessa and Dené look to demystify, de-stigmatize, and desensitize what goes on both inside the therapy room and in daily life, through soul-provoking conversations with fellow seekers, thought leaders, changemakers, and real people during live coaching sessions as they navigate the hard work it takes to be a human.This podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy. Follow Cheaper Than Therapy on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Follow VanessaInstagramTikTokYouTube Follow Dené InstagramTikTok------------------------------ Hosted on Acast.
