“Another indication of over-functioning behavior is feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.” – Terri Cole

Intro

Are you tired of being the one doing all the things for all the people?

Are you the point person for everything in your family life?

Does it feel like you’re the only one who can reliably get things done?

Then this episode is for you because I am talking about a common relational dynamic I see in high-functioning codependents (HFCs): how one person over-functioning causes the other to under-function. 

To illustrate this dynamic, I’m sharing an excerpt and case study from my newest book, Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High-Functioning Codependency. You’ll learn how this dynamic impacts us, examples of how it shows up in our relationships, and how you can stop over-functioning.

Highlights:

• 3:00 An excerpt from my new book, Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High-Functioning Codependency
• 4:50 What is over-functioning?
• 6:50 The oversized feeling of responsibility that comes with over-functioning
• 9:00 How your over-functioning can lead someone else to under-function
• 13:30 Continuing the excerpt from Too Much 
• 14:40 How additional challenges can exacerbate over- and under-functioning
• 16:00 Strategies to reduce over-functioning in your life
