One thing I emphasize is our goal is not to be Christ to other people, because that's usually kind of what happens when people are codependent.
Have you ever wondered if your relationships are a bit too intertwined? In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Jerry and Tanya Gioia sit down with Tres Adamas, the director of Arizona Christian Counseling, to untangle the concept of codependency. Tres explains that codependency goes beyond just a buzzword—it's when someone's sense of self-worth is tightly linked to another person.
This can often happen in families dealing with addiction, where one person may try to control or enable the other's behavior. But it's not limited to those situations; codependency can appear in any relationship. Tres highlights the importance of setting boundaries and recognizing where resentment might be creeping in. He also talks about the need to find a counselor who shares your values and provides a safe space for healing.
While support groups are beneficial, sometimes you need that one-on-one counseling to dig deeper into your issues. One standout idea from this chat is that failure can actually be a stepping stone for growth. Negative feedback isn't just criticism; it's an opportunity to learn and improve. If you're grappling with codependency or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights.
Tres's advice on setting boundaries and seeking the right kind of counseling could be the key to healthier relationships and personal growth. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion that might just change the way you view your connections with others.
