Can I Help Others With Their Needs, Not Mine?

Your host pays a repeat visit to "Hello Henry" on WBT, AM 1110, in Charlotte, NC, before his move to the Atlanta area in Georgia.
This conversation with Henry Bogan is primarily responding to individuals who call into the radio station to share their questions about relationships with others. One question encourages a person to ponder their own reasons and needs when they plan to 'help' others who have declined an offer of assistance. It is often difficult to effectively and positively relate with others until we have learned to relate healthfully with ourselves.

As is frequently the point within wellness psychology, the challenge remains for each of us to learn from one's own inner voices (values, beliefs, experiences, etc.) rather than rely so heavily on the what others tell us is the 'best' for us on how to think, feel and behave as we choose how to live life.
