Summary
Are you a natural-born helper? Are you someone who is always willing to lend a hand or advice even if no one asked? Does it feel like your helping is on auto-pilot or even compulsive?
Do you ever wonder if there are times when helping maybe…isn't that helpful?
In this episode, I'm breaking down what constitutes unhealthy helping. You'll also learn what you can do so you can get back some of your bandwidth and increase your potential for intimacy and authentic connection with the people in your life.
