Why Trying to Fix People Isn't Love
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
Ever rush to cheer someone up just to make your own discomfort go away? In this episode, Ryan unpacks the difference between real support and codependency — showing why trying to "fix" someone else's pain often has more to do with our own inability to sit with discomfort. Through a story about a father and daughter, Ryan reveals what people actually need when they're struggling: a safe space and validation, not advice.
