I find it hard to ask for and receive help. I am used to always focusing on the needs of other people and often don’t even notice what I might need help with. I believe that I need to be in a really desperate situation, having tried anything I could think of by myself before being allowed to ask for help.
Answer:
Why is this a problem for you? Is there a specific circumstance that this has come up for you lately? That would be a great place to start exploring this. You could also get curious about your beliefs around asking for help. What rules are there? What beliefs do you have? Where did they come from? How did you see your pattern modeled for you? How has not asking for help until being desperate served you all this time? How has trying everything served you? What do you want to shift? It sounds a bit like you’re noticing something in your energy and ability to continue this way. What message is you inner voice trying to tell you?
