This week John is in conversation with a special guest - one who has lived through a codependent relationship, and who has emerged as independent from the other side. It's a rare, highly personal conversation from someone with a unique perspective on this particular compulsion, and which may help to empower those who may not yet realise that their own relationship may be an unhealthy one.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• When we become codependent, we lose part of ourselves - our identities. We hand control to a person, and thereby give part of ourselves away.
• Previous generations have always associated their development in life by their attachments. These days, we are encouraged to be more independent, and gender roles in society help to promote this.
• Codependency can creep in without realising it. We begin a certain way, and then one day find that we have become unrecognisable to ourselves.

BEST MOMENTS

'The root of codependency is the loss of the self'

'It was a very gendered experience'

'It's as though you somehow believe you are rooted with each other'

'It was like I'd created a Frankenstein'
