There are times when helping becomes so familiar that we stop noticing what it is taking from us.

One more responsibility. One more person relying on us. One more thing we tell ourselves we will deal with later.

This short resource gives you space to notice what has gradually become yours to hold, what can be shared and what may not belong with you at all.

It is for anyone supporting family, friends, colleagues or their community and beginning to feel the weight of it.

Inside this practical tool

  • A short reflection on how responsibility builds quietly

  • Prompts to help you recognise hidden pressure

  • A simple exercise exploring the difference between supporting and carrying

  • One question to return to when things begin to feel heavy
