Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené

In this solo episode, we’re examining a situation we receive questions about frequently relating to moving on after the end of a 15+ year partnership. We so often hear that women have been unhappy in their (hetero) relationship for some time, then the relationship ends, and then the woman feels stuck and unsure about what comes next and how to move forward. A patriarchal society normalizes the discontentment of life within women and sets an expectation that “this is just life,” birthing the mother wound and passing down the belief that life is suffering. But what happens if you reject that message, and instead choose to live fully?Oftentimes, the story we tell ourselves of the suffering to come is much bigger than the suffering we actually endure. In order to begin, you must surrender and accept this new phase of life you’re in and get to know this new Self. Recognize that you may be sitting in a space of what you thought your life “should” look like in feeling that being alone is “wrong,” and try shifting your perspective to a new approach as you take that first unsettling step into the unknown.  And, if you love the conversations we’re bringing you as much as we do, please rate and write a review of the podcast so we can get the podcast out to even more people!If you want to connect with us personally and deepen your work, we just launched our private online Cheaper Than Therapy Community.

In this solo episode, we’re discussing a common theme we see around whether or not healing and co-regulating ourselves within relationships is the same as being codependent. We’re talking about:Codependency, at its core, being being the belief that we ‘need’ one specific person outside of ourselves to regulate our internal world Recognizing that society has conditioned us to equate attachment with love, and that without a certain amount of differentiation, we can fall into the trap of seeing the person in front of us as a means to an end - instead of loving them for who they areHow we find and provide a healing and safe space within a relationship, without taking on roles that start to become overly enmeshedAnd so much more! If you love the conversations we’re bringing you as much as we do, please subscribe, rate and write a review so we can get the podcast out to even more people!If you want to connect with us personally and deepen your work, we just launched our private online Cheaper Than Therapy Community.
