Relationships can trigger unhealed wounds of the past, and if we are not careful and self-aware, we may love others in an unhealthy way. In this episode, you will learn from Lisa A. Romano, who will help explain why some of us love to be loved in return and why that is not the healthiest way to operate within relationships.

Codependency in relationships destroys love. When you are codependent, you seek approval and love others, hoping to be loved in return. On the surface, this sounds appropriate. However, when we dig in deeper, we learn that relationship dynamics that are rooted in insecure attachment and abandonment issues are anything but easy. Signs you're codependent include seeking approval, enabling unhealthy behaviors, denying your own needs, putting the needs of others before your own, having poor boundaries, having difficulty with mature communication, lying for a partner, feeling over-responsible for other people's emotions, rescuing or fixing other people's lives, and then feeling angry when others don't do as you would expect them to.
