The “Savior Complex” is a horrible obsession, where instead of getting to know someone and seeing if there is harmony and potential for you as friends or as partners - you immediately imagine a version of them that is DIFFERENT than what they are. And then you set about trying to make them INTO that imaginary person you have in mind. You might call this "helping" them, or "healing" them (for people with CPTSD, this is almost always the expression of a trauma wound), but really what’s going on is manipulation and control. It’s not really about helping them with something they require - it’s about helping you to relieve an anxious emptiness inside, and in the end it will take a toll on both of you. In this video I respond to a letter from a woman who has a compulsion to "heal" people who are not available for a relationship.

Funny, I've called myself an "emotional parasite" before. After a breakup, when he wanted to be friends, and I said I knew I could not do that. But I went into a self-loathing rant about how I work in a hospital and with dementia patients because it's the only safe way to get affection (they even tell me they love me! Even if they think I'm their daughter/sister/whatever, they know I'm taking care of them and they're grateful😢). I realize how fucked up it is on all levels. I read some of the texts we exchanged to a friend (one from a healthier home) and she told me that some of the things I said made her worry about me. That it was okay to feel good and be happy when doing things for other people, and that for that to even be the primary motivation for why you do it.

Wonderful video. May I add that suffering religious trauma (on top of abuse) can contribute immensely to the "savior complex" as we can rationalize to ourselves that because we self sacrifice, are altruistic, we are more "Christ like" Even if we secretly HATE religion, guilt and dogmatic fear can reinforce the behavior, and when it comes to shame, religion can be like gasoline on a fire. Also as a male, I can attest that the idea of being a "Hero" is VERY tempting to someone with damaged self esteem. BTW 14:15 LOL!

i hope she can heal. aiming for unavailable people (vulnerable ones who can't bring themselves equally to the relationship) it is both repeating the pattern from childhood of mistaking that imablance for the truest expression of love and holding real connection at an arm's length because it's a concept that got paired with pain in previous experiences; she deserves and is capable of something better.

Based off of your advice I know I did not pick my partner correctly and we've already been going through a rough patch, every time I listen to your advice it just makes me feel like I should get a divorce and find someone the correct way this time. I can't believe that I have a Savior complex and I am with somebody that doesn't want to live and it's very difficult when I have a sex addiction too because I'm traumatized. I almost want to brag about it because I've been through so much but I am waking up wanting to you and fix myself. I can tell you that one of the biggest desires I have right now is just leave and clear my head. But I still believe my wife and I are starting to heal together but I'm just being limerant half the time and manufacturing hope?

I can relate to so much of this. It took a really awful and traumatic event whilst I was pregnant with my daughter for me to finally snap out of limerence and my need to ‘save people’ and face up to what I was actually doing in my life ( chasing beautiful yet troubled and traumatised men in an attempt to win their love and devotion) Having my daughter has also helped in my recovery. I love her so much, and through my love for her I’ve finally stopped hating myself. It’s been the most healing experience. I’ll do whatever it takes. These videos are so helpful, I see a bit of my story in many of the letters and i finally have compassion for myself. I wish this lady peace and joy in her life.

I do not agree we should reject our love for people we feel like need to be healed or supported for their traumas or experience. It can be a calm journey where you give them the calmth and space to reflect on themselves and find their best selves. It should indeed not be forced onto them. However, if they confirm your view on what is broken, why not support them fix themselves? Is this view dangerous for falling back onto the urge of control? Or is it just plain wrong to see a relationship like this? If so, let me know, I'm open for a discussion in the reply section.

I don't necessarily feel the need to 'save' people (because there are plenty of people I walk away from and don't care about anymore). But occasionally when it's someone I really like and they have some terrible flaw, I do find myself wanting to help them way more than I should. I think it stems from having so many deeply flawed people around me that after a while you start to see there aren't that many normal, functional people out there wanyway. So you start to accept some flaws you shouldn't in people who have other qualities you like. Overall, I'm pretty good at writing people off as lost causes now though and I'm pretty proud of that. I especially have zero tolerance for alcoholics and druggies in my space. I just think they get way too many chances in general and usually still end up failing horribly at life while harming those around them.

Saviour complexes may be condescending and maybe a way to hide one's own fear from oneself but writer, it's good to acknowledge something we do isn't good but also don't hate yourself like that,breaks our heart- I mean I feel that way about being somewhat codependent and even when Anna describes it as...eloquently as she does😅-that it's icky,toxic,not innocent etc I still just see it as a messed up thing I do that I can work on,make amends about if possible and mind how i choose people, how i interact with people i choose thereafter etc. Anna is right about spiritual folks btw, imho best to avoid them altogether or 'only' approach it via books etc-not worth it,cults ruin lives while people don't even realise it in the worst way and we don't need that shit. no one is perfect and that's alright. As a woman,i can tell you many of us have a rescue fantasy and there are men who capitalise *big time* on that kind of thing in us. Having said that,in the single phase finding a spiritual center in one's heart helps a lot-we're meant to care about what is good and sacred in us and others,have faith in a higher power et al. maybe anna will talk about her view of that someday but its personal and bful once you find that,a safe haven in one's heart if you will

Spirituality can be cult like, but the issue I have with saying it's a cult is that it isn't a cult in and of itself. It's more that *certain types of people* with personal agendas - that often have nothing to do with the messages of the philosophies and religions they hijack - give rise to cults, and many types of group - including religious, political etc, have the potential to be 'cultish'.

It's really condescending when someone uses you as a target of their 'attention' as well. I've had holier than thou women do this to me and it's nothing short of insulting. I did not ask for help, but they just deemed me as needing help because I was not living up to their standards and I worked with them. I stayed away because I could see these women had serious issues with codependency and that their lives must not be going that well if they were so overly focused on mine and they did not even know me. These women are control freaks.

I can see this lady’s position from 2 different angles. I’m totally a self-trasher (I know…), but the roles are reversed in that an acquaintance/friend with limerence on social media attached to me, which I didn’t know about for a few years. For one thing, I’m too much of a mess for a romantic relationship… I still apologize to my husband’s grave for his having married me (I know…), but that aside, this person is the same sex as me, and I’m just not gay. I made that clear multiple times, but it didn’t seem to matter… I’ve kept my distance for the most part so as not to lead her on. The other stickler is that I’ve “collected” a few friends with cptsd over the years… I just can’t relate much to those without it (I also have ptsd from adult trauma). One of those friends is gay and we’ve been friends for 25 years. So damaged me felt that this very damaged person & I could be friends once it was accepted that I’m not gay. But it didn’t work out that way and now she’s totally pissed at me for not feeling the way she does, and she’s been cruel. But again, damaged me feels responsible that “I” was the reason she’s upset (I know…). So, I’m thinking about totally divorcing myself from social media (she’s on ALL the platforms), but that especially sucks for me because I’m homebound due to disability. 😣

How do you know the difference between helping someone and trying to “fix” them? We all know people that need help or struggle with problems How can you tell the difference? Wouldn’t you say counselors or mental health professionals choose their career for those reasons? 🤷‍♂️

Some do. But many enjoy the application of their science to help people for society reasons. Recognising boundaries and keeping them is key as well. Regular clinical supervision and knowing it’s a career - which has the secondary gain of helping others is a must. Having your own life with balance, hobbies, self care and time for yourself means you won’t be living to be needed. Those who live to work....think alarm bells.

There are shortages of healthy people for women clearly in Ontario Canada. I spent 60 looking at so how much time do you think you need to spend looking?

I do read all the KZfaq comments, and I wish I could personally reply to all the e-mails I receive, but this is such a big vibrant community that I focus my efforts on the membership community, and live calls I do with anyone who wants to learn my Daily Practice. I also offer courses, monthly webinars, and a book on my healing method that comes out in October.

Just say it , sex without marriage goes no place . For onething ,the guy does not want to live --- then sex, no , no, it is never as good idea . See a pastor or a good therapist that is a pastor type . Why not its their job and they are in the healing bussiness , better this way .

That person is a professional novelist. I think they wrote this letter to hear their prose out loud and maybe they are writing a story where the main character interacts with a KZfaq therapist and this is research. 🤣

I wish instead of reading letters, you would actually just discuss what you put in the title. Instead you read letters and barely address what you claim you will. I'm tired of listening to people's letters. These videos can go on forever without actually addressing what you're saying you're going to talk about. It's clickbait.

She discussed throughout the video how trying to “save” people is no good for anyone? This letter writer in particular had a lot of insight already and Anna showed her the way forward.

@@varsha8592 I disagree. I've watched many of her videos and I wish she would just address the topic and if she wants to go into the letter, she can do that at the end. It's frustrating. These videos are hour and a half long and they still are mostly letters.
