Hello 😀 Not to long ago I played rescuer (thou at the time I didnt think of it that way) with a friend of mine who was in dire straits. Having not seen her for a few years (she was married to my brother) I was surprised to find her in such abad way living by herself begging to survive. She was so excited to see me that I became drawn into her problems and tried to get her out of it and back to normal. This is when I got into the the rescuer role until it all fell apart and turned into a nitemare!
What Joanie does is certainly not playing the part of a rescuer but acting as a conduit of positive information. I believe a reascuer becomes physically and mentally involved letting more be taken from them then there able to give. Joanie escapes the rescuer mode giving and helpin and not opening up to be sucked dry by someone who can only rescue themselves.
Thanks for everything from both of you 😉
John
