There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking someone for what you need or giving yourself permission to give yourself what you need.
Raymond Moore and Adam Kostiw return to 'Straight Talk Recovery' to tackle the intricate subject of co-dependency. Ever found yourself constantly putting others' needs above your own, feeling trapped in a cycle of guilt and resentment? This episode sheds light on what co-dependency really means and its profound impact on mental health and relationships. Co-dependency isn't just a buzzword; it's a pattern where one's self-worth hinges on pleasing others.
Raymond and Adam explain how this often stems from childhood experiences, where prioritizing others' needs over your own becomes ingrained. This behavior can lead to an overwhelming sense of responsibility and a confusing mix of love and pity. In co-dependent relationships, individuals frequently sacrifice their own well-being to cater to their partner, friend, or family member. This self-neglect can spiral into anxiety, depression, and even addiction.
Recognizing co-dependency is crucial, and some red flags include difficulty setting boundaries, an inability to say no, and always putting others first. Raymond and Adam emphasize the importance of seeking help if you suspect co-dependency in your life. They offer practical advice on defining healthy relationships, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care. Remember, it's okay to ask for what you need and to take care of yourself.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with co-dependency or those wanting to understand it better. Tune in to gain valuable insights and start your journey towards healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
