I’m a fixer and spend a lot of energy trying to help other people sometimes failing to be in touch with the source of my own feelings and actions. Yesterday I was reading @brenebrown’s “Dare to Lead” and she had this to say about fixers: “In the face of a difficult conversation, when we see that someone’s hurt or in pain, it’s our instinct as human beings to try to make things better. We want to fix, we want to give advice. But empathy isn’t about fixing, it’s the brave choice to be with someone in their darkness-not to race to turn on the light so we feel better.” http://liketk.it/3eS62 liketkit @liketoknow.it
