Who Is The Hero (or The Responsible One)?


In the context of dysfunctional family dynamics, "The Hero," also known as "The Responsible One," is a role often adopted by a child or member of the family who appears to be high-achieving, dependable, and strong.


While The Hero may seem to be well-adjusted and successful on the surface, they often carry a heavy emotional burden.


This role can create stress due to the pressure to perform and the fear of failure. Heroes may struggle with their emotional needs not being met and may find it hard to ask for help, as they are used to being the problem-solvers.



Embrace the chance to lighten your load and find joy in shared responsibilities and personal growth.


These worksheets aren't just about managing tasks; they are about transforming your relationship with responsibility and rediscovering your own needs and aspirations.

Thank you so much for the gift you share in the world to help others heal.”

“I am so grateful to you. I was somewhat apprehensive about facing certain things that I knew were there but had been resisting addressing. Your approach in the worksheets made it easier, more structured, and less daunting to confront… I am beginning to understand myself better and striving to be a better partner, coach and psychologist.”
