If you're getting resentful about the helping, that means it's probably not appropriate helping or you're over helping in some ways.
Ever felt like you’re always the one rushing to rescue others, only to end up feeling drained and unappreciated? In this episode of SNAP: Survivors of Narcissistic & Abusive Personalities, licensed professional clinical counselor Mandy Friedman LPCC-S dives into the tricky terrain of over-helping and codependency. If you’re a natural helper or fixer, you might be crossing boundaries without even realizing it. Mandy breaks down how these well-intentioned actions can morph into codependent behaviors, ultimately doing more harm than good.
Through relatable examples and straightforward advice, Mandy helps listeners identify when they’re doing too much. She emphasizes the importance of respecting boundaries and learning to say 'no' without guilt. A key takeaway is recognizing when you're putting in more effort than the person you're trying to help and when assumptions or mind-reading come into play. Feeling resentful about your efforts? That’s a red flag you might be overstepping. Mandy also stresses the need for balancing empathy with self-care.
She offers practical tips for maintaining your own emotional well-being while supporting others. And if you find yourself struggling, seeking professional help is always a wise step. Towards the end, Mandy gives a sneak peek into the upcoming SNAP series starting January 15th, which she will be leading. She encourages listeners to join the SNAP Survivors of Narcissistic and Abusive Personalities Facebook group and follow the official SNAP Instagram account for ongoing support and resources.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who finds themselves constantly in the role of the fixer or saver. Learn how to set healthy boundaries, avoid enabling behaviors, and take care of yourself on your journey to recovery.
