174. Codependent No More


Listen Later

This is a theme that we have been wanting to explore on the podcast for months, but have been dragging our feet. (Perhaps because we both identify closely with this pattern). We looked for an expert on this, and reached out to Melody Beattie last year, author of the best seller “Codependent No More”.  She agreed to come on the podcast but requested we wait until the Fall when she had a new book coming out.  Melody passed away this past February at the age of 76.  May you Rest In Peace Melody and thank you for opening so many of our eyes to the pattern of codependency.

Today we discuss:

  1. The definition of codependence: You love other people more than you love yourself.
  2. Betsy’s reckoning with her own codependency.
  3. Kate’s first contact with the book “Codependent No More”.
  4. How control is the addiction of codependence.
  5. How women raised in a patriarchy are set up to align with the pattern of codependence.
  6. Why the relationship with our children is inherently codependent.
  7. The tools that can help manage this pattern.
