This session is geared toward anyone who experiences shame, guilt, remorse for not being able to do more, while their personal lives are falling apart or they are struggling themselves.  We tend to focus on others when we want to feel better about ourselves.  We don't want to look in the mirror and work out the problems in our own lives, it is much easier to focus on others.  Martyrdom includes ignoring your basic needs and instead meeting the needs of others; your spouse, your children, your family, your neighbors, your congregation, your children's schools, at work, etc. etc. etc.  We've been taught this from a very early age, "conceal, don't feel, keep going.  You are important because of what you can give to others." FALSE

Feeling depleted and like nothing you do is ever good enough, beating yourself up daily for falling short, ignoring your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health when being busy in other people's lives are signs of letting your martyr take over.   You are not falling short, you are simply out of alignment.  The faster you can bring yourself back into alignment with yourself and God, the easier life becomes, and you will find yourself pouring from an over flowing cup, rather than an empty, broken, resentful one.
