Counter and codependency are not things you're stuck with. I'm not saying you can clear up somebody else's, but you can clear it up for yourself.
Ever thought about what lies on the other end of the codependency spectrum? In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Jerry and Tanya Gioia dive into the often overlooked concept of counter-dependence. While codependency involves leaning too heavily on others for approval and self-worth, counter-dependence is all about striving for complete independence and self-reliance. It's like two sides of the same coin, each with its own set of challenges and patterns.
Jerry and Tanya break down the various behaviors associated with both ends of this spectrum, including denial, low self-esteem, compliance, control, and avoidance. They also explore how childhood experiences and family dynamics can shape these traits. The episode doesn't just stop at identifying the issues; it offers practical advice on how to move past them. From understanding the root causes to incorporating faith and spirituality into your journey, Jerry and Tanya provide a roadmap for emotional growth.
Whether you're dealing with codependency, counter-dependence, or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights to help you navigate these complex behaviors.
