Empowering Support vs. The Savior Complex: Holding Space Without Losing Yourself
from Shots of Serenity Hosted by Jasmine St John
In this episode of Shots of Serenity, we explore the difference between empowering others through genuine support and unconsciously falling into the savior complex — the pattern of trying to “fix” others at the cost of your own peace. This conversation is an invitation to reflect on the energy behind your support, is it rooted in love and empowerment, or control and validation? Tune in for mindful reflections, practical tips for grounding after emotional labor, and gentle reminders to let people have their process while you stay rooted in your own.
