Kate is breaking down the crucially important difference between supportive compassionate helping and enabling bad behavior.
There is a blurry line between the two that is often complicated by personal and caring relationships. But it is a slippery slope, and while no one ever intends to enable behavior in another that is unhealthy, supportive helping can turn into enabling behavior.
In this episode Kate outlines:
- The difference between Compassion & Enabling
- How enabling can do harm
- The relationships where we need to be aware of the potential to become an enabler
- How we can recognize enabling behavior in ourselves
- 3 ways we can move away from enabling, and back toward compassion
