Embracing Your Needs and Asking for Help
A helping heart can really hurt us. Of course it feels good to lend a hand to a friend or family member, a colleague or a customer. But many of us—whether we work in a helping profession or we simply have a helping heart—are slow to accept any help in return, and we deprive ourselves of the splendid results.

When we help others and ask nothing in return, or our work lives demand a great deal of helping, it can be incredibly isolating. It denies us our own needs, and we become robbed of trusting relationships. Listen to or read Nina’s story of learning to ask for help and find acceptance for the many ways others can help you feel whole.
