Sally Kohn: Where can we draw the line between dependence and its evil twin you know codependency? She says it would be more worrying to me if we were completely detached from others. "Codependence is maladaptive and it's harmful to both members of the relationship," she says. If your friend keeps coming to you for money but never paying you back or showing any progress towards being financially independent this may seem like you're helping them at the surface level, writes Kohn. It actually may be that you're enabling their dependency on you for assistance.
This week we discuss codependency and how it can manifest in our friendships and relationships in our 20’s. We break down some of the misconceptions around codependency, the origins of the terms and early signs our relationships may be codependent. We also dive into the difference between healthy dependency and maladapative codependency and how we can recenter and restore balanced and mutual relationships with those in our lives.
