Why getting help isn't always helpful
Support in communities is vital.
Yet, we oftentimes feel resistant to receiving it.
Other times, we receive unhelpful support or limit our view of what support can be.
In Western culture, we’ve also been socialized to believe that needing support means weakness.
So, we feel guilty when we do receive it or we simply don’t ask for it at all.
All of these beliefs have limited our ability to have more fulfilling relationships and connections.
