[quote=Anonymous]In the grand scheme of possible character flaws, this is a great one to have. You want to be helpful, sometimes to the point of not encouraging the helpee to be empowered to come up with their own solutions. But you’re wanting to help your friends and family, and have a lot of empathy, and that’s fantastic. Since the urge to help is so strong, what about working with a counselor on what language and discourse to use to help others in an empowering way? Trying to turn that off will make you feel like you’re not being you and it’s a great trait to have. The language should just change, right? So that you’re helping them come up with their own solutions rather than you coming up with them for them? A therapist does this all the time and can help guide you in how to interact with others in crisis or need in a strengthening way. [/quote]
