Manage episode 424680483 series 3490806
Have you ever felt like a doormat in your relationships, constantly putting others' needs before your own? Have you ever wondered why you keep finding yourself in these kinds of relationships? We, Noel and Lena, are here to share our own personal journey of navigating the murky waters of codependency, echoing insights from Melody Beatty's enlightening book, 'Codependency No More'.
In this enlightening discussion, we uncover the intricate layers of codependency and its profound impact on relationships. We dissect the disease of lost self, a behavioral pattern that leads individuals to prioritize the needs of others at the expense of their own well-being. A term that was birthed from the 12-step program and coined by a group of women struggling with their partners’ addictions. We lay bare the often overlooked warning signs of codependency and share our experiences of how this book helped us challenge our boundaries, recognize our emotional currency, and make healthier shifts in our lives.
Lastly, we stress the importance of self-reflection in healing from codependency. From engaging in self-care to seeking professional help or joining support groups like Al-Anon, we emphasize the critical steps necessary to break free from the cycle of codependency. The insights and tools provided in this discussion are not just for those who identify as codependent but anyone eager to make positive changes towards healthier relationships. So, join us on this journey of self-discovery and transformation.
