The Overachiever Archetype

You’re successful, independent and capable. You’ve built a life you’re proud of and you’re used to getting things done.

So why can love still feel so difficult?

In this episode of Healing With Teeling, I’m breaking down the final Love-Blocking Archetype in this series: The Overachiever.

The Overachiever is often the woman everyone else thinks has it all together. She’s ambitious, reliable and strong. She knows how to achieve, solve problems and take care of herself.

But underneath that independence can be a subconscious belief that love, approval and worth have to be earned.

And when you bring that belief into relationships, you can find yourself over-giving, over-functioning, trying to control the outcome or working far too hard to make a relationship work.

In this episode, I cover:

• The common signs of the Overachiever Archetype

• Why achievement can become connected to your sense of worth

• Childhood experiences that can create these subconscious patterns

• Why asking for help, resting and receiving can feel uncomfortable

• How being fiercely independent can affect intimacy and vulnerability
