If we found love and acceptance in the environment where we were raised by performing, by being what the other person needed us to be, then there's that sense of security and safety that we have developed early on.
Have you ever felt like you're doing too much for someone else, to the point where it harms your own well-being? In this episode of the Positive Sobriety Podcast, hosts David and Nate chat with Sonja Meyrer, a certified recovery coach and bestselling author. They dive into the tricky world of codependency, especially in relationships affected by addiction. Sonja shares her expertise on how to tell the difference between toxic caretaking and healthy caring.
Toxic caretaking happens when you overextend yourself trying to fix someone else's problems, often neglecting your own needs. Healthy caring, however, is about setting boundaries and ensuring your own self-care while still being supportive. The discussion also touches on how our childhood experiences shape our adult relationships and the importance of professional recovery coaching and accountability. By the end of the episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how to break free from codependent patterns and foster healthier connections.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with codependency or supporting someone in their recovery journey.
