Smothered

Definition

Feeling of suffocation; not having the room/space to exist.

Becoming aware of feeling smothered is the key.

Choose to vocalise your feelings in an appropriate manner or accept the behaviour with good grace.
Work with the ‘smotherer’ to change the situation.
Work together to address each others needs, linking what is important to both of you.

I am able to recognise when action needs to be taken so I have the space and freedom to enjoy my relationships.

The only time I will allow myself to feel….Smothered, is when it serves me!
