I hope that you're enjoying this series on the different attachment personality patterns. I think Melody Beattie described it as a normal response to abnormal people and as a codependency coach, it's my goal to help you identify your unique codependency patterns so that, for the sole purpose of being able to break free from those patterns, patterns aren't pathology right.
Ever felt like you have to fix everything for everyone? In this compelling episode of 'Breaking the Chains: Overcoming Addiction and Codependency,' Heidi Rain sheds light on the FIXER Attachment Personality Pattern. If you grew up in a dysfunctional family, you might have taken on this role without even realizing it. Heidi explains that the FIXER often emerges in families plagued by addiction, abuse, or toxicity.
These individuals become the 'heroes,' taking on responsibilities far beyond their years to keep the family afloat. Heidi breaks down the five core traits of a FIXER, which include a strong sense of empathy, overbearing tendencies, and a simmering resentment. She emphasizes that while these traits may help you survive in a chaotic environment, they can also lead to self-destructive codependency patterns as you grow older.
The FIXER feels compelled to rescue others, often at the expense of their own well-being. One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of setting boundaries. Heidi stresses that learning to establish emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical boundaries is crucial for maintaining your own energy and sanity. The goal is to move towards interdependence, where you accept that you can't control everything and that it's okay to let go.
Heidi encourages listeners to stop rushing to everyone's rescue and to take a step back. She points out that while you might feel like you're fixing things, you're often just maintaining the dysfunction. This episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for anyone struggling with codependency. It's a must-listen for those looking to break free from self-destructive patterns and reclaim their lives.
