The Wound of Responsibility: From Avoidance to Control

The Intuitive Health Podcast

In Episode 39 of The Intuitive Health Podcast, Dr Anthony Rafferty delves into the wound of responsibility - an energetic imbalance often rooted in childhood experiences, ancestral patterns, and trauma. This wound deeply impacts the solar plexus, our centre of self-worth, value, and personal power, and can manifest in two key ways: under-responsibility, characterised by avoidance, denial, and victimhood often stemming from neglect or overprotection, where accountability was never taught or taking responsibility led to punishment. And over-responsibility, where people carry the weight of others, driven by parentification, enmeshment, people-pleasing, and a perceived need to control outcomes.

Tune in to learn about how both extremes of this wound can lead to burnout, exhaustion, emotional depletion, gut issues, weak boundaries, and nervous system dysregulation, creating a distortion of self-worth and personal power.
