🎙️Ask Me Anything - E13: Breaking the Habit of Being the “Fixer”
Description
In this episode, I respond to a question from an anonymous listener who writes:
“I always find myself being the ‘fixer’ in every relationship — friendships, family, work. I don’t know how to stop without feeling like I’m abandoning people.”
We explore the deeper emotional wiring behind fixer behavior — and why it’s often less about control and more about safety and self-worth. Inside this episode, we’ll talk about:
- Why fixer tendencies often develop as a way to feel needed or valued
- How over-functioning keeps both you and others stuck
- What it looks like to support someone without carrying their emotional weight
- Tools to break the cycle without being consumed by guilt or shame
If you’ve ever felt like it’s your job to keep everything and everyone together — this episode is for you.
