BEING A FIXER AND A RESCUER
All my life I've been a fixer and a rescuer. It stems from being an oldest daughter and thinking that it was my responsibility to keep
everything calm and on course. I'm very uncomfortable with discord and
messiness, and I'll do all I can to calm the waters and to keep everyone
else happy.
To be honest, it works well when life is fairly smooth, but when I
encounter a very messy person or situation it can be exhausting running
around trying to solve a problem that's often not mine to begin with. I've finally figured out that I need to change my approach...
