Hi John,
I’m so happy to see you here 🙂 Thank you for sharing your experience. The fact that you were able to identify that you played the role of rescuer is very important in and of itself.
I have a question for you: When did it become apparent to you that you were playing the rescuer? Was it during the “drama” or was it after it played itself out? Sometimes folks have revelations when they are be-ing a rescuer in their Now — as the victim-rescuer drama is being played. Other times, it is in retrospect that they review their actions and then conclude that the part they played does not suit them in their soul’s development. One can also have both experiences. All avenues to reaching one’s “Aha!” moment are wonderful. It is not important HOW one gets there. I merely ask out of curiousity and enjoyment of the topic.
Is your rescuer in retirement, or does it seek employment at times?
I appreciate your words about how I have managed to place the rescuer on the sidelines on my journey 🙂
Blessings,
Joanie
