Exploring the Need to Be Saved by Someone

…and why it’s more common than what you may think. Wanting someone to come in to save us from a difficult situation, emotion, or thought process is, in some ways, what our society has romanticized in media over the years. While one may not act upon this desire, having the need itself can tell us something about our relationship with ourselves. If there’s no real relationship, we can come to believe our hurting parts will only be seen in a way that brings just the right dosage of healing by someone else. A person can join us on our journey as a support system, but no one should have to bear the weight of being anybody’s savior unless it’s their decision to do so (which often comes from a wounded place, too). Join me on this episode to uncover how we can begin getting out of the deeply-rooted want of saving. I’ve been there many times before, and I can assure you that it’s possible. Often, the other side of having this conscious or unconscious need is a realization of what our true power and worth are.
