Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher

Why Do I Feel Pressured to Fix Everything While I'm Hurting?


Listen Later

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, Maurice Harker addresses a common struggle for women in relationships: Why do I feel pressured to fix everything while I'm hurting? Using powerful metaphors like the “Double Burn Victim Scenario” and the “Hospital Bed,” Maurice explains why it is unrealistic—and unhealthy—to expect someone who is emotionally injured to be responsible for the healing of others. Whether it's a spouse who demands validation while you're recovering from trauma or society’s pressure to “bounce back,” this episode sheds light on how to protect yourself and focus on your own healing journey. You don’t need to leave your own “hospital bed” to take care of others.
