“You cannot be the person who goes to therapy for six months to fix a problem and you notice you have another problem and you're reading a book, going to a coach to figure it out and everybody in your life feels like when we get to that bridge, you'll cross it. They will always drain you. They will come to you, draw from your knowledge. But when you have Messiah complex, you don't realize it, but you demand. You demand for the people in your life to stay sick.”
Have you ever felt like you're the one who always has to save the day in your relationships or as a parent? In this episode of the Liza Express Podcast, host Liza Chuma dives into the messiah complex and how it can wreak havoc on both personal and family dynamics.
