The Fixer

Why You Keep Falling in Love With Potential: The Fixer Archetype

Are you always the one supporting, encouraging and trying to help your partner become the person you know they could be?

You may be the Fixer.

The Fixer is caring, loyal and highly empathetic. She sees the best in people, but this can lead her to fall in love with someone’s potential rather than who they are today.

She becomes their therapist, coach, cheerleader and emotional support system. She gives more, accepts less and hopes her love will eventually inspire them to change.

In this episode, I explore:

• Who the Fixer is and how this archetype behaves

• Why being needed can feel like being loved

• How childhood experiences and past relationships can create this pattern

• The subconscious beliefs driving overgiving and rescuing

• Why emotionally available partners can initially feel unfamiliar

• How to stop taking responsibility for another adult
