Not Yours to Fix: How to Release the Exhausting Burden of Rescuing Your Family

Are you the one everyone calls in a crisis? The one who mediates, rescues, organises, and holds the family together — while quietly running on empty? In Not Yours to Fix, psychologist Louise Blount reveals the hidden mechanics behind the family fixer role: how you were recruited into it, what it is costing you, and how to step back without abandoning anyone you love. Drawing on family systems theory, attachment psychology, and decades of clinical experience, this compassionate, unflinching guide will help you release the exhausting belief that your family’s problems are yours to solve — and reclaim the life that has been waiting on the other side of that belief.
