Codependency and Boundaries: Insights from Matt Brown and Sam Davis

A boundary is saying: look, you can go, do whatever you're going to do...The same mind that created the problem can't be in charge of the solution.
Ever wondered how to handle the tricky dynamics of codependency in relationships affected by addiction? In this episode of 'The Party Wreckers', Matt Brown and Sam Davis dive into the heart of this issue, shedding light on the difference between ultimatums and healthy boundaries. They define codependency as a psychological condition where someone with low self-esteem becomes overly attached to another person, often leading to unhealthy control or manipulation.
Matt and Sam stress that while ultimatums are about control, boundaries are all about self-care and self-preservation. They emphasize the importance of setting clear, healthy boundaries to avoid falling into the trap of codependency. Alongside these serious discussions, you'll also find some lighter moments, like a chat about March Madness and a raccoon problem at Sam's house.
If you're dealing with addiction in your life or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice on maintaining your well-being while supporting your loved ones.
