Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

Friday, October 14, [Being There for Others]: Before You Try To Help Someone, Remember This, Ep. 816

Wanting to help someone who’s in need of support IS honorable. But what it ISN’T, is about you. You are not the solution for their problems, nor is it your responsibility to solve their problems for them.

I think this is another reason why we sometimes resist reaching out to someone in need of help–we fear that we won’t actually be able to help, or that we might get overwhelmed by the amount of help they need. 

I share a helpful analogy that can help get your head on straight about what your ultimate goal is.
