When you hear the word "codependent," you might think of the traditional enabler framework involving a hapless victim and their selfless rescuer. Psychotherapist and boundary expert Terri Cole certainly did. However after years in her therapy practice, she realized that many of her clients were presenting codependent behaviours that fell outside of the classic model. Terri calls this new paradigm "high-functioning codependency" (HFC). The ironic truth with high-functioning codependency is that the more capable you are, the more your behaviour doesn't seem codependent. "As HFCs, our desire to feel at peace often drives us to chronic over-functioning and overinvestment with the loved ones in our lives," says Terri. "Even with those we don't love… or sometimes with folks we barely know." Here, Terri breaks down the characteristics of high-functioning co-dependency?including how to identify one's "HFC blueprint"?so you can get more clarity around what's going on under the surface of your behaviour and take steps toward better boundaries, self-care, and integrity. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of how you relate to others and the world… with a newfound inner peace. With the teachings and tools in Too Much, now you can break the cycle of overdoing and over-giving and start living a more authentic and joyful life.

Dr. Nicole's philosophy is consistent with a nationally general movement called 'Sex Positivity'. We're so used to hearing about the risks and dangers associated with sex yet there are so many diverse and wonderful things to celebrate! Sex positivity encourages safety but also highlights sexual pleasure. It embraces LGBTQI+ identities and issues. It rejects shame and stigma and it acknowledges that our sexuality feeds into the very essence of our self-identity and happiness. Beyond this, however, I have found that to be truly sex-positive, sex education must be empowering. It has to be collaborative, NOT authoritative to promote trust and a free exchange of ideas.

Doctor Tari is a clinical psychologist and relationship expert. Her passion is helping people elevate themselves internally so they can access elevated relationships and partners. She is passionate about this work because of her own rocky journey to love and self-love. For years she did her best in relationships but always ended up exhausted, heartbroken, and confused. It wasn't until she discovered the secrets to personal alignment and healing that everything changed. She found that before we have self-awareness and the tools to shift our beliefs, self-view and old templates and roles, we continue to be attracted to people who can't love us and spend our time trying to get or keep love that is unattainable. Dr. Tari knows that complete and total transformation is possible because of her own personal transformation as well as witnessing thousands of these transformations in her clients in her role as a psychologist. She is committed to helping others with their own transformation so they can access and keep healthy, joyful loving relationships. www.drtarimack.com Instagram: @drtarimack
