In this episode, Suzi talks about how a person oftentimes can be trained to take care of others before oneself at a young age, but this can be an unsafe practice. It's kind of like thinking you can rescue other people if they fall into the deep end, but you can't swim. And yet you're the first one that jumps in the pool. Working with combat veterans, Suzi has become familiar with the super power to want to rescue others, to want to make sure that others are safe and even sacrifice oneself for others.

Self awareness is not selfish! Ask yourself: Can I emotionally regulate! Can I make sure that my feelings are not so out of control that I'm actually adding to the danger and the wellbeing of myself and others? Can I physically manage my fear and sadness so that it doesn't turn into anger because once it turns into anger, then it's much harder to be able to make rational, safe decisions.
