Helping vs enabling
Helping is doing something for someone that he is not capable of doing himself. Enabling is doing for someone things that he could and should be doing himself. #enabling #quotes
Understanding the difference between encouraging and enabling is valuable! Encouraging refers to the act of giving someone support and confidence, especially in times of difficulty. Enabling is the act of aiding someone in continuing harmful behaviours or habits. This can prevent individuals from understanding the consequences of their actions. The key difference between encouraging and enabling lies in empowering someone to do and make positive changes, whereas enabling perpetuates negative behaviours. #ThePsychologyCouch #Encouragingversusenabling #Mentalhealth #MentalHealthSouthAfrica
