More deets on the episode:

We start with hearing from Randi about how she conceptualizes codependency and some codependent experiences she’s had in her own life. 

We then shift to the topic of the body-ody-ody! That thing attached to our heads that we tend to neglect to our detriment thanks to being overfocused on others and their needs. 

Randi answers how codependency shows up in the body, how bodywork can help us heal from our codependency, and what bodywork looks like in our self-care practices. 

Randi emphasizes how and why it is so important for codependents to connect with their bodies. Rathern than simply processing our thoughts, feelings, and actions in our head, bodywork can help us integrate our experiences in a more holistic manner through our body. Imagine going to talk therapy one time per week to “talk it out” and then going to a bodywork session to “roll it out.” It’s a win-win given how cut off we are from our bodies.

We end with Randi walking us through an exercise that we can take with us to practice connecting with our bodies.

 It’s a must-listen! Thanks for coming on Randi!
