243. Throwback: The Overfunctioning Empath (How To Stop Feeling Overly Responsible for Everyone Else) w/ Matt Landsiedel | The Not Too Sensitive Podcast

This episode is one of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast, and for good reason! Alissa chats with Matt Landsiedel about the pattern so many empaths know but rarely name: feeling overly responsible for everyone else's energy, emotions, and well-being.

Together they unpack the deeper reasons HSPs fall into overfunctioning, where empathy ends and codependency begins, and what it looks like to stop rushing in to save everyone around you.

If you missed this one the first time or need the reminder, this is your sign to press play.

You'll Learn:

• Why empaths often carry a sense of responsibility that was never theirs to hold
• The subtle difference between deeply feeling someone's pain and making it your job to fix it
• What overfunctioning actually looks like in everyday relationships
• Practical ways to pause before stepping into the "rescuer" role
