Quotes:



"Part of people pleasing is about control. We're trying to control someone else because we're uncomfortable with what's happening for us." – Sarah



"Rage helping is when you resentfully offer help because you can't tolerate the discomfort of watching someone struggle, even if they didn't ask for your help." – Finn
