The On-Call Empath

Do find yourself going out of your way and making sacrifices for other people's happiness, but not getting much in return?   Codependency is a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person enables another individual's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, and irresponsibility. It seems to be common among some HSP's and empaths. Some of the characteristics of codependency is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a loss of identity. 

My guest, Nick Bognar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pasadena, CA. Nick’s therapeutic work as a client-led him to pursue a career in helping others shed the emotional shackles and burdens that keep them down, so that each may live their own happiest life and have the greatest impact on their community. Nick’s professional interests include helping people set boundaries and codependency issues.
