Those in long-term caring relationships have no time to care for themselves. Those who are professional carers work prolonged hours with inadequate resources. Deeper down, beneath all of this, there is something else that causes helpers to suffer. It dwells in their psychology and the belief system that motivates them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Super-Helper Syndrome\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new perspective on the psychology of helping. It offers support for people who want to adopt a Healthy Helper Mindset, including meeting their own needs, countering the inner critic, building assertiveness and setting helping boundaries. It’s only by doing these things that compassionate people can be most effective at helping others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is for anyone who helps to the detriment of their own wellbeing.
