Discover how to transform your relationships by understanding the intricacies of codependency and boundaries in our latest episode. Join us and our insightful guest, Kristin Snowden, as we unravel the misunderstood concept of codependency and its profound impacts on partnerships. Learn how acknowledging personal responsibility can lead to a more balanced and supportive relationship, and find empowerment in shifting from codependent behaviors to healthier, interdependent dynamics. Kristin's expertise helps us reframe codependency with compassion, showing how being pair-bonded means mutual impact, and how to navigate this with grace.

We delve into the often-overlooked connection between trauma and codependence, emphasizing the importance of skilled clinicians in treating these issues. Mislabeling and weaponizing codependency can cause harm, especially when underlying trauma is present. We'll discuss the necessity of personal growth and self-care, particularly during crises, and the challenges that arise when partners are at different stages of healing. Finally, we explore the human need for safety and predictability in relationships. By slowing down our reactions and developing empathy and negotiation skills, we can foster healthier relationships and improve mental health. Tune in to gain practical insights and encouragement for navigating the complexities of your relationships.
