In this episode I will cover the following questions:

• Why do I feel responsible for everyone

• Why do I always try to fix problems

• Why do I take on other people’s stress

• Why do I feel drained helping people

• How do I stop over helping

• Why do I always step in to help

• Why do I feel guilty not helping

• How do I stop taking on other people’s problems
