How to get out of the

rescuer role in conflict


If you tend to adopt the rescuer’s attitude:
 Try to take stock of your need for acknowledgement.
 Ask yourself if your value really depends on the help you give to others.
 Develop your analytical spirit to figure out clearly the real needs of others.
 Do not come to the rescue unless the other person explicitly asks you to.
 Limit the amount of time you give to helping.
 Always make sure that the help you give is appropriate and effective.
 If your help does not produce the expected results, do not place the blame on others too hastily.
 Do not create a relationship of dependence between you and those you help.

If the other person adopts the rescuer’s attitude:


 Do not give in to the pleasant temptation to be helped or you risk becoming a victim.
 Do not hesitate to push away rescuers who are too forward, despite their generosity.
 Show your independence and assume your responsibilities.
 Do not forget that your rescuer today will express rancor towards you tomorrow.
 Effectively show them your appreciation for what they do, in order to stop bitterness from arising.
