Helping People in Crisis

"I don't feel like I'm helping her. She's not really a friend, like someone that I would ever confide in or trust," she writes. "This was a really powerful exercise for me and it really taught me a lot about myself." Helping people in crisis can often give us that dopamine high of being helpful and heroic. But the other side is being totally drained and depleted with nothing left for those who are most important to us.
