5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful book, September 7, 2004
By 
This review is from: When Helping You Is Hurting Me: Escaping the Messiah Trap (Paperback)
Goes over the problem in detail, but without excessive hand-wringing. A diversity of well selected examples, with helpful discussions and observations. If codependence and "rescuing" people are issues you struggle with, definitely get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant depiction of group dynamics, April 8, 2006
This review is from: When Helping You Is Hurting Me: Escaping the Messiah Trap (Paperback)
Another of my favorites. Has been out of print for awhile and am glad to see it back. Carmen Berry depicts a brilliant example of group dynamics and personality styles. Gives you permission to set your own boundaries.

5.0 out of 5 stars when Helping you is hurting me., November 24, 2009

This review is from: When Helping You Is Hurting Me: Escaping the Messiah Trap (Paperback)
When Helping You is Hurting Me is an excellent resource for people who find themselves repeating a distructive pattern of "Helping too Much". The misnomer is that we are taught to help others and keep on giving and when we've been raised that way it is not easy to stop even when we fall on our faces.

I found this to be a real "KEY" to my own healing and understanding of why I did what I did for so long even at the risk of my own health and happiness.

Thanks to the author for such insights and research. Faye Hobbs, Transformational Learning
