Toni Oliver writes for people who are very good at looking after everyone else and slightly less accomplished at remembering themselves. A recovering Helpinist, she writes with humour, warmth and uncomfortable recognition about people-pleasing, boundaries, burnout and the strange habit of making other people's problems our personal responsibility. Her book, The Disease of Being Useful, is a practical and irreverent guide to recognising when being helpful has stopped being a choice and become an identity — and learning how to step back without writing a twelve-page apology. Toni believes change doesn't always require a complete reinvention. Sometimes, one small shift is enough to start a little revolution. Yours in recovery, ToniWriter has not written anything about themselves.
