When someone has the need for help, do you subconsciously want to be just like a superhero, ready to save the day? Having the Rescuer Personality Type can hurt you in a lot of ways. You have a hard time taking care of yourself and prioritize your own needs, which can lead to emotional burnout and exhaustion. Not only that, the strong desire to save and fix others, even at the expense of your own needs, can also lead you to let others treat you like a doormat and exploiting you. Incase, you're wondering if you might have the rescuer personality, see if you relate to some of the signs in this video?
