When Helping Others Starts Hurting You | Therapy & Theology

However you are called to help other people, that is your personal ministry. But how can you serve others, lead well, and make a difference without losing yourself or burning out? In this episode, you'll learn: When helping others crosses the line into enabling, you're trying to "play savior," or even becoming codependent. How to manage internal desires you have, like longing for affirmation, so that you can stay healthy, emotionally grounded, and purehearted. The difference between bettering your self-image and growing in self-awareness.
