102 - Codependency, Victimhood, Vulnerability and Empathy in Relationships

Episode show notes

As emotional beings, it’s natural for us to desire human connections. 

LOVE is probably the most powerful emotion that we desire.

And relationships operate best when each other’s needs are satisfied in a balanced manner…but we must remember it’s never the responsibility of another to meet our needs, that’s our job.

However, it is a beautiful thing when two people can come together and express themselves and CHOOSE to be a support of one another rather than trying to force or control support or connection…

When the latter occurs, you may find yourself in a codependent relationship.

Although it may be tough to navigate relationships since there are various types in our lives…

The ability to build a strong, loving, and healthy relationship can be learned and developed. 

In this episode, I talk about the dangers of victimhood, how to break free from codependency and how vulnerability and empathy can strengthen your relationships.
