Set boundaries and stick to those, because when you do that they they will get mad and you're gonna have to weather the storm on this, because once you outlive it, then your relationship will come into fruition the way it was supposed to.
Why did Jack stay on the ship while Rose floated away? The answer lies in the tangled web of codependency. In this episode of RECOVCAST, hosts Kyle, Jon, and Katherine take a deep dive into the icy waters of one of the trickiest subjects around: codependency. Drawing from their own lives, they shed light on how trauma and attachment issues can lead to unhealthy relationship patterns.
Kyle points out, 'We're operating out of a trauma wound in our relationships, and we might not even be aware of it'. From people-pleasing to sacrificing personal needs for others, these behaviors can trap us in a cycle of resentment and despair. But fear not! The hosts offer practical advice on setting boundaries and learning to rely on oneself for validation and security.
Jon advises, 'Set boundaries and stick to those, because when you do that they will get mad and you're gonna have to weather the storm on this, because once you outlive it, then your relationship will come into fruition the way it was supposed to'. Seeking help from therapists or support groups is also highlighted as a crucial step in breaking free from these patterns.
Katherine shares, 'We can personally relate and we can give you experience, strength and hope on what we're doing in our lives and how we've grown as a result of codependency, addiction, all of that kind of stuff'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling trapped in unhealthy relationships or looking to understand the roots of their behaviors.
