Mar 29, 2024
The podcast discusses the irony of codependency, where focusing excessively on others can actually stem from self-absorption. Signs of codependency can include feeling invaded and irritated by a loved one's overinvolvement. It can be a form of self-centeredness, manifesting as an urge to fix others or control their behavior. The episode explores the intersection between setting boundaries, navigating family relationships, and self-reflection in recovering from codependent patterns.
