In this episode, we explore the role of "the fixer" -- the individual who feels compelled, whether by choice or expectation, to repair family ties after breakdowns. It’s dangerous to take sole ownership of mending relationships, as this can lead to emotional burnout, scapegoating, neglect of personal needs, and unhealthy family patterns. This episode highlights that fixing can be a trauma response—rooted in fears of abandonment and conditional love—and urges those in difficult relationships to prioritize personal boundaries and self-worth over the compulsion to resolve every familial conflict.
