You’re not “too sensitive.”
You’re responding to patterns that keep crossing your limits.

When relationships leave you feeling:
• drained
• anxious
• resentful
• or constantly questioning yourself

That’s a boundary issue—not a personality flaw.

They’re hard because your nervous system learned that keeping the peace feels safer than protecting yourself.

So when you try to set a boundary, anxiety shows up.
Guilt shows up.
Over-explaining shows up.

That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
It means your body needs safety, not willpower.

I’ve written some blogs about boundaries - https://totalanxietyrelief.com/blog?blogcategory=Boundaries

If setting boundaries makes your anxiety spike,
it’s not because you’re weak or bad at communication.

It’s because your nervous system learned that keeping the peace = staying safe.

So every time you say no, your body hears danger.

Boundaries don’t fail because you don’t know what to say.
They fail because anxiety takes over before your logic can help.

This is exactly what we work on in counseling—
not just what to say, but how to feel safe enough to say it.

If you’re exhausted from being the “strong one,”
the fixer, the giver, the one who understands everyone else…

There’s usually a boundary that never learned how to hold.

Overgiving is often anxiety in disguise—
the fear of disappointing, being rejected, or being seen as “too much.”

You don’t need tougher boundaries.
You need safer ones.

👉 Dr. Anne’s Anxiety Relief Class you learn simple techniques you can use anytime to calm your nervous system.

You’re not broken. You’re human. And relief is possible. 💛https://totalanxietyrelief.com/anxiety-relief-techniques-1

Defensiveness is rarely about the present moment.
It’s usually an old emotional reflex trying to keep you safe.

When your system perceives threat, it reacts automatically—
explaining, justifying, blaming, shutting down.

Nothing is “wrong” with you.
But staying unconscious of defensiveness keeps you stuck in the same patterns—especially in relationships.

The good news?
Once you understand what’s happening underneath, defensiveness loses its grip.
