CARRYING THE MENTAL LOAD OF THE HOUSE?
I saw this guy today and so many of my clients sprung to mind, it's something I hear in the counselling room often from clients (men and women, not calling anyone out here 😂) Who feel like they're carrying the mental load for the whole family, it's exhausting and it's heavy!
Quite often one person is unwittingly assigned the role of "CEO of the house" and either does all the tasks themselves because it's "easier" or becomes chief delegator which still requires effort.
If this sounds like you and would like to communicate this to your partner or you're a partner who just wants to share the load, give this guy a follow his videos highlight what often goes unnoticed in relationships where partners feel like they're helping when they say "tell me what to do and I'll do it" ..."give me a list" which takes mental effort to even think of.
He's funny,.there's no focus on shaming, he calls himself a recovering man child 😂 and whilst his focus is on helping men, it's easily transferable to any gender, I'm sure there is something in there for all of us to take away.
