Compassion tends to get confused with codependency, or codependency tends to get confused with compassion. I wanted to correct myself because I thought this was a cool way to talk about the marriage and relationships and substance abuse realities, mixing them together.
Ever felt like your kindness is taken for granted, or worse, turned into a crutch for someone else's issues? In this episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', Chris Gazdik and guest John Pope dive deep into the often confusing world where compassion and codependency collide. Drawing inspiration from Claudia Black's groundbreaking work, they share personal stories and parenting insights that reveal how codependent behaviors take root and the challenges they bring.
They don't just stop at identifying problems; they also discuss counter-dependency and offer practical tips for setting boundaries and fostering healthier relationships.

Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that aims to clarify the fine line between being compassionate and being codependent.
