A Way Beyond the Rainbow

#48 - On the Origins of Emotional Attachments and Codependency


Listen Later

In a series of episodes on emotional attachments, dependency and codependency, my friend Amina joins me to discuss the origins and characteristics of these themes as well as relevant and practical healing and recovery work.

In this episode, we talk about the origins of attachment styles in adulthood,  the four styles of adult attachment, and we introduce the topic of codependency. Why am I anxious in my relationships with others? Why am I avoidant of commitment and intimacy? What is codependency and where does it come from? These and other questions are addressed in this episode.
