The Psychology of a Child who grew up Feeling Like a Burden

Описание: Have you ever felt like your very existence was an inconvenience? Apologized for things that weren’t your fault? Shrunk yourself to avoid being “too much”? This isn’t random — it’s the lasting impact of growing up feeling like a burden to your parents.

In this emotional deep dive, we explore the psychology of the “Invisible Child”: hyper-vigilance, pathological self-sufficiency, the apology reflex, transactional relationships, fear of asking for help, disappearing in conflict, over-achievement as compensation, toxic shame, and how to finally stop carrying a weight that was never yours.

If you learned early that your needs were a threat, this video will help you understand why — and how to heal.
