Why is it so hard to ask for help? Even when people are willing to give it?
In this episode, we sit with the hidden fear underneath self-reliance: What if having needs makes me a burden?
We talk about the difference between healthy independence and rigid self-reliance, why being helped can feel strangely unsafe, and how many of us learned to be capable, low-maintenance, and strong long before we learned how to receive.
This is a conversation about asking for help, receiving love, resentment, perfectionism, family culture, prayer, and the third way between isolated self-reliance and helpless dependence.
