SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - THE LURE OF THE 'FIX'

Where and how did we get the notion of being attracted to people we need to 'fix'?

Think about the stories that we grow up with: 

Cinderella (the Prince saves her from a life of servitude!)
Snow White (one simple kiss and the guy brings her back to life!)
And how about all those Chic Flics…

The theme of 'rescue' permeates our culture and the 'rescuer' is truly perceived as a Royal.

THE  DANGER OF 'FIXING'

Do you really think the person you rescue feels appreciation?
Think again!

Unlike in fairy tales, in real life rescuing tends to engender resentment.
No one likes to think that they are perceived as not good enough.

What do you imagine is your 'value added' to the other person?
Make a list.
Now imagine that your roles are reversed.
How does it feel to be on the receiving side of 'fixing'?
