When you're compelled to jump in and do something for somebody else, you are just responding to your own anxieties.
Why do we feel the need to jump in and save others, especially when it comes to addiction and recovery? In this engaging episode of 'Families Navigating Addiction & Recovery', master coach Barb McAllister sheds light on the drama triangle, focusing on the 'rescuer' role. Barb explains that while the urge to help comes from a good place, it can sometimes do more harm than good.
She dives into how stepping into the rescuer role can create unhealthy dynamics and prevent real progress for both parties involved. Instead, she advocates for developing coaching skills that can foster healthier relationships and more effective support systems. Barb also opens up about her personal journey with her son, sharing how she learned to hold him accountable for his own recovery rather than trying to fix everything herself.
The episode covers vital themes like self-awareness, setting boundaries, and breaking the cycle of dysfunction. Tune in to discover how you can better support your loved ones without falling into the rescuer trap.
