In order to be in a romantic relationship like that, then you know, there has to be some sort of some level of enabling or codependency, because that person, the person who's suffering with the addiction, is so me-centered, so I mean almost non-functional, and that's what the role of the other person is, is they help them to function.
Ever wondered if your support might be doing more harm than good? In this episode of Let's Talk Recovery, Pastor Aaron Shaw and Caleb tackle the tricky subjects of codependency and enabling. They start by defining codependency as a behavior where one person meets another's needs to their own detriment. While not a diagnosable condition, it's common in addiction and recovery circles.
Aaron and Caleb dive into the characteristics of codependent relationships, often rooted in family dysfunction, and how these dynamics can spill over into romantic partnerships. They stress the importance of setting healthy boundaries to break free from these harmful patterns. The hosts also offer practical steps for fostering healthier relationships, emphasizing the role of God's guidance in this journey. One key takeaway is learning to balance love with consequences, a crucial step in building supportive yet firm relationships.
If you or someone you care about struggles with codependency or enabling, this episode offers valuable insights and a message of hope. Tune in to learn how to build stronger, healthier connections with the help of Jesus and a supportive community.
