The Rescuer

You often provide deep care and generous support, stepping in to assist even when it is not requested. However, this might stem from a concern of fear or not being needed. This tendency can create difficulties in allowing independence and may lead to confusion when an adult child seeks distance. Providing help as a means of maintaining connection can impact boundaries and mutual growth.

Consideration for Improvement: Reflect on whether your assistance is driven by the needs of others or your own desire to feel needed. Developing an identity outside of the rescuer role can foster a healthier and more independent relationship
