You offer help you don’t have time for.
You say yes to things you quietly resent.
You lend the money, rearrange your day, rewrite the message until it sounds 'reasonable'.
You downplay how tired you are, because other people have it worse.
And the more you absorb, the more invisible you become - to others and to yourself.
You know this isn’t sustainable, but stopping feels impossible without the guilt.
The problem isn’t that you care too much.
It’s that no one taught you where you end, and others begin.
Instead of relating as separate people, you merge.
Their feelings feel like yours to manage, their problems yours to solve.
That tiredness, that stretched-thin feeling, you’re not imagining it.
And it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.
It’s because you’re carrying a lot of other people’s 'stuff' that just isn’t yours to hold.
You’d love to prioritise yourself, but right now your whole body reacts as if stepping back isn’t safe. It feels like abandonment. Like you’ll be failing people if you do.
Because your nervous system is still wired to blend with other people’s feelings, leaving you unsure what’s yours to carry, and what has nothing to do with you.
...You need a Responsibility Reset - so you can finally get on with living with your needs and feelings at the centre of your life.
I'm Elsie, the Psychotherapist behind the Reset
As a Therapist, I’ve supported hundreds of people who call themselves people-pleasers.
And what’s underneath the tendency to put others first isn’t just a discomfort with prioritising yourself, but a deep sense that you’re responsible for everyone’s everything.
Like it’s your job to keep the peace.
To manage other people’s emotions.
To make everything ‘ok’, even when it costs you.
I created The Responsibility Reset to offer a gentle framework to help you start healthily separating what’s yours from what belongs to everyone else.
So you can finally prioritise your feelings, what you want and what makes you happy, and feel good instead of guilty about doing it.
