Why do some of us feel compelled to help others - even when it drains us? This week's episode dives into the savior complex - where helping turns into control, codependency, or a silent cry for validation. We break down the neuroscience of "helper's high," how to spot unhealthy patterns, and how to transform your urge to rescue into truly supportive, empowering relationships.
