When the Mirror Doesn’t Reflect You Back

Written By Veronica

Healing the Fixer Pattern and the Pain of Self-Abandonment

Have you ever poured your heart into someone only to realize you were the only one truly present?

This episode isn’t about a breakup. It’s about the pattern underneath it.
The pattern of performing care, translating silence, and calling it love.

In this reflection, I speak to the one who became the mirror…
Not to reflect her truth, but to reflect someone else’s pain.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Why you stay in relationships that don’t meet you

  • The grief that comes with releasing the version of you who made herself small

  • The identity of “the fixer” and how to lovingly let her rest

  • A somatic practice to honor the part of you who tried to hold it all together

This is a sacred pause for the one who’s ready to stop performing healing…
and start receiving it.
