Description

In this enlightening episode of our podcast, we delve deep into the amusing yet significant terrain of the 'Saviour Complex' and the 'Superhero Complex.' Particularly common amongst high achievers and workaholics, these fascinating psychological phenomena could be affecting you or those close to you.Are you the kind of person who's always switched 'on', tirelessly striving to provide for those around you, and seemingly incapable of acknowledging a need for rest? Maybe you're irrevocably attracted to the role of the protector, particularly towards those showing signs of weakness and vulnerability. If these characteristics ring true, you might be grappling with the Saviour Complex. Get Premium Content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Teia and Lauren have worked in the humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding fields for...long enough. Now they’re travelling around in a campervan, on a journey to understand what organisational transformation does, and could, look like. Join them each week as they discuss their non-profit experience and invite guests from across different sectors to pull back the curtain on how organisations function (or not) and understand what can be done on an organisational and individual level to address complex social issues. Are you ready? Are you sure? It might sting. Get Premium Content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
