What do you say to someone who feels like a burden? In this episode, counselor and author Elisha shares exactly what she tells clients who struggle with feeling like they're too much — and why this belief is a wound, not a truth.
We explore:
✅ Where the "I'm a burden" belief comes from (hint: it was installed, not chosen)
✅ 3 things I tell every client who feels this way
✅ The theology of needing — and why the church sometimes gets it wrong
✅ Practical steps to rewrite this core belief
✅ A guided breathing exercise for nervous system regulation
If you've ever apologized for needing something, this episode is for you.
