I am ruminating lots lately about whether or not I have an (unhealthy) helpers syndrome and about my NEED to help others.

I definitely have a lot of trauma around being made responsible for "helping" people who didn't want to get better, including both my parents and my elementary school teacher and my sibling and in some way even my therapist (among others, this is such a constant theme in my life). Being discarded once I was no longer useful or needed by some, getting trauma-bound by others.

I am coming to a place where I can see these dynamics more and more clearly and can therefore avoid falling into those kinds of traps again - better than if I hadn't processed these things, that is better than most people who haven't been through it.

And I do want to help people in these ways, in emotional support ways. All I have to do is to find people who actually want to get better, who want a chance to be themselves and heal and grow, instead of keeping me small as a substitute for their own growth. Obviously such people exist in abundance 🥰 (abusers just try to paint a picture that "everyone thinks like this"/like them).

I know that I have knowledge and experience and skills and compassion that many need, that the world needs. I want to use whatever skills and inner and outer resources I have to the best effect, I want to do the most good that I can.

And that's a whole lot.
