Helper Syndrome

People’s Thoughts:

„I feel like I must help, which is why I avoid them… Why is that?“

Sometimes we feel the impulse to help another person – and at the same time, we hold ourselves back. We withdraw, even though a part of us is ready to be there for others. It is a reflection of our inner process. We bear the responsibility for how we relate to ourselves and to others – with all our openness, clarity, and also our boundaries. We are all interconnected, and a part of a greater whole, each of us has the opportunity to contribute something to that whole simply by being who we are.

Personal Experience

I love to give. But it took time until I realized what my giving can truly accomplish. It is not merely a gesture – it is an impulse that touches others, allowing them to rediscover themselves. For a long time, I held back my energy, protecting myself, withdrawing into my shell. I felt as if my giving was falling on deaf ears. Yet deep within, I knew: true giving expects nothing in return. It flows from an inner abundance, from the awareness that nothing is lost when it is done out of love.
Giving selflessly, without expecting something in return, is one of the greatest gifts we can offer in this life – and at the same time, the most healing gift we can give ourselves. I give from a place of abundance, from consciousness, from a deep inner „yes“. Especially to those who are navigating their own shadows. I know what I can carry, and I know how much energy can flow through me – clearly, lovingly, and in balance. And all this so that I do not end up sacrificing myself for others.

Approach

If you are aware of your life energy – and that you can share it with others – then do not hold back any longer. Do not be afraid to open up selflessly. Because that is precisely what creates a world of togetherness and peace. Give from within because you want to, not because you feel you must – keep it balanced. As soon as you give out of a sense of obligation, you become dependent – what is known as the helper syndrome. Do not forget yourself in the process. Give wholeheartedly when you truly want to. Recognize the power inherent in conscious giving. It is not a loss, but a flow.

Feel free to consider the following questions:

  • Why do I want to help?
  • Why do I withdraw from people who could use my help?
  • Does this impulse come from genuine connectedness – or from an unconscious need to be liked, needed, or to affirm myself?
  • Do I give willingly, or because I feel I must – perhaps even out of guilt?
  • When do I truly give willingly?
