This may be hard for some of us to hear, but people don’t need you to rescue them. They need you to listen, love, support and encourage them, but you’re not doing them, or yourself, any favors by constantly stepping in whenever you see them experiencing adversity. We think we’re being helpful, but we’re often robbing people of their own experience to feel good about themselves. We are all wildly capable, so let’s not strip ourselves, or anyone else, from figuring that out.

In this episode of XTRA:

• What does it mean to be a rescuer?
• The story of the rusty apple cutter
• Why we can never really save anyone
• Things to try when you feel the urge to rescue
