Do you say ‘yes’ when you mean ‘no’? Do you end up in lopsided relationships, feeling resentful but not sure how to speak up? Do you feel disconnected from your emotions and your body – like you’re living from the neck up? Do you feel anxious, struggle with perfectionism and imposter syndrome, or feel like you’ve lost touch with your true self? You’re not alone: Thousands of people, especially those of us socialized as women, struggle with Emotional Outsourcing-a term Nurse Practitioner and life coach Beatriz Victoria Albina coined to describe the codependent, people-pleasing, perfectionist habits that keep us stuck. In End Emotional Outsourcing, Albina explores the origins-both personal and systemic-of these codependent tendencies, and coaches readers through a nervous system focused, science-backed program of thought work and somatic practices.
