What does it mean to be a rescuer in relationships and why are some people really prone to fall into this pattern.  Well Justine thought she was having just another uneventful evening at the movies, but little did she know the content of the film would propel her back to a turbulent relationship she had in her 20’s.  For 6 years Justine was stuck in a cycle of wanting and needing to rescue her then boyfriend.  If only she knew then what she knows now.

In this episode we explore the tendency to hang in here way too long with a partner who is emotionally unavailable – someone you feel needs your help, someone you need to fix or rescue.  Why is this such a strong urge and what schemas underpin this dynamic?

As a Clinical Psychologist, I’d describe myself as an integrative therapist; someone who brings together lots of different approaches to meet the differing and deeply personal needs of my clients. I take a non-judgemental and respectful stance in my clinical practice and treat each person I work with as a unique individual with an important life story. I have extensive education including a research Ph.D. (UNSW) and 25 years of experience. These days, in addition to my client work at the Good Mood Clinic, I run special interest training on Schema Therapy for fellow professionals and supervise other therapists.
