Is your need to fix getting in the way of really helping people? Being there for the ones we love or people close to us, is not always easy when it comes to #mentalhealth. Whether it be #addiction, #suicidal thoughts, #selfharm or any internal struggle, when we are trying to help, that urge to fix can become consuming and ultimately hinder us. Though coming from an honest and loving place, I feel like all of us want to become better helpers and listeners and in this video I explore some things to think about.

So I always welcome thoughts in the comments.
