Today weâre diving into a tendency that the vast majority of the world struggles with. And Iâm not exaggerating there. This tendency, known as codependency, is an unhealthy reliance on or concern for other peopleâs problems, emotions, actions, or opinion of us. And itâs a sneaky little devil, because itâs often disguised as kindness, compassion, caring, patience, and so on.
Weâre going to define codependency, talk about why itâs so harmful to us and our relationships, look at several examples of how it shows up in our day-to-day lives, and discuss a handful of techniques for getting out of it. Weâll be referring to codependency throughout this entire podcast series, so this is a worthwhile listen.
