Are You Helping... or Using Them?
Are you really helping, or are you just hungry for self-esteem? 🧛♂️💔

We're diving into the neurobiology of the Fixer's High—the dopamine hit you get from feeling indispensable. It’s not charity; it’s emotional vampirism. Let's get raw about why you really want to save them.
