Ever wonder why you're exhausted after helping people—even when you genuinely love serving others? It may not be because you're too generous. It may be because somewhere along the way, you learned that love had to be earned by giving away your time, wisdom, and emotional energy. If every "quick favor" turns into an hour, every phone call leaves you drained, and saying no fills you with guilt, this isn't a boundary problem. It's an emotional pattern that can be healed.
