Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak

"your life was one long emergency", a great lyric from one the worlds greatest songs. This works in the context of art designed to move you emotionally. Where this is less attractive is in the real world when your emotions are hijacked by those close to you. If this is happening in your world, reflect on it. Who is really being served in this "victim-rescuer" relationship. Sure, there is a pay off for both parties but at what cost? One stays small and the other martyrs. This can happen in the workplace, not just families & friends. 

If this is showing up in your life, and you want to change it - you may want some support in designing a way forward.
