Codependency, practiced with the right people at the right time, can be a huge gift, and Today we re going to talk about the three ways codependency can be a very good thing.
Michelle Anderson, host of the 'Love Over Addiction' podcast, turns the common perception of codependency on its head in this thought-provoking episode. While codependency often gets a bad rap, Michelle argues that it can actually be a source of strength and support when practiced wisely.
She uses the powerful metaphor of a marathon runner who sacrifices her own race to help a fellow runner in distress, illustrating how staying to help when others walk away can be a profound act of kindness and solidarity. Michelle also touches on how codependency can make us better friends. It's about being the person who not only offers help but also follows up, ensuring those we care about aren't left to struggle alone.
This kind of empathy and dedication can forge deep, meaningful relationships that stand the test of time. Finally, she highlights the importance of apologizing and owning our mistakes. In a world where admitting fault is often seen as a weakness, Michelle shows how it can actually strengthen bonds and lead to healthier, more honest relationships.
This episode is a refreshing take on codependency, offering listeners a new perspective on how it can be a valuable tool for personal growth and stronger connections. Whether you're navigating the complexities of loving someone with an addiction or just looking to improve your relationships, Michelle's insights are both practical and uplifting.
