False Responsibility: Learning to Let Go of that which is not Ours

Description

False responsibility refers to the tendency to assume responsibility for matters that, objectively, do not fall under our control. False responsibility leads to false guilt, and false guilt leads to self-blame. Over time, this makes us more susceptible to being manipulated and taken advantage of. We tend to sacrifice our own well-being and self-interest to please and take care of others, losing ourselves in the process. This curriculum will help you acknowledge your tendency to assume false responsibility; surrender your need to “save” others, the Church, and the world; and learn to sidestep the pattern in the future..
