722 From Savior to Supporter: How Your Presence Helps More Than Unsolicited, Well-Meaning Advice
Manage episode 486581712 series 2502906
Does everyone come to you when there’s a problem because you’re known for giving the best advice or being good in a crisis?
Do you intervene in family members’ situations before they even ask for help? Do you feel anxious or guilty when others struggle? Do you rush to smooth things over?
Or do you subconsciously look for people to save? The broken-winged birds?
These are all signs you might have a savior complex. If you’re exhausted from playing this role, you’re in the right place.
I’ll walk you through how to become an authentic supporter rather than a savior, the differences between the two, and share a few reasons why some of us naturally fall into the role of savior.
