In this episode of The Hardcore Therapist, I breaks down one of the most misunderstood dynamics in relationships: the difference between emotional intimacy and emotional enmeshment. If you’ve ever wondered whether your deep connection with someone is healthy—or if it’s crossing into codependent territory—this episode is for you.

We’ll explore:

• The key signs of emotional enmeshment
  
  
  
• What real intimacy looks and feels like
  
  
  
• Why those of us with trauma or attachment wounds often confuse the two
  
  
  
• How to begin untangling yourself without losing connection
