Gavin J Tackles Super Helper Syndrome on The Therapy Suite
“We offer you a framework to think through it for yourself, but often you have to come to the realization that they're never going to love you in the way that you deserve to be loved.”
Ever felt like you're always putting others first, even to your own detriment? In this episode of The Therapy Suite on UK Health Radio Podcast, Gavin J is back with Chartered Psychologists Jess Baker and Rod Vincent to shed light on the Super Helper Syndrome. This condition often plagues those who are naturally compassionate but end up sacrificing their own needs in the process.
Gavin J breaks down how to recognize and manage this syndrome, diving into the 'no needs' belief, dependent relationships, and even the darker side of exploitation. He also touches on personality disorders like narcissistic and antisocial tendencies that can be intertwined with the Super Helper Syndrome. To top it off, they discuss a survival guide book aimed at helping those affected by this condition. It's a must-listen for anyone who finds themselves constantly giving but rarely receiving.
Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice.
