Podcasts about codependent

Eli Weinstein interviews Dene Logan on The Dude Therapist podcast. They explore the spirituality and soul of a couple, the collective reckoning with feminine and masculine energies, and codependency. Dene encourages people to seek to understand before seeking to be understood and to take into account the most generous interpretation when dealing with relationships. They discuss the hero's journey and archetypes, the importance of autonomy in relationships, and the advice her mentor gave her about relationships. They discuss reclaiming authentic selves, Carl Jung's depth psychology, the power of love and relationships, and the importance of understanding and grace.

-What does codependency look like in teen boys? -How can adolescence be a “hot bed” for codependency due to developmental, social, and cultural factors? -What are the long-term consequences of unaddressed codependency in the lives of young men? Welcome to Episode 145! This week, I am joined by Sipan Nazaryan, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, to discuss codependency in teen boys. I for one do not think of teen boys when the word codependency is mentioned, however, Sipan is here to educate us on what codependency looks like in the lives of male teens with their friends, parents, mentors, and romantic interests. We explore Sipan's approach when he notices codependent behavior in his teen boys and how he connects with them, especially those who are resistant to therapy. We take a look at codependency between parents and their teen sons and how it harms their ability to individuate. We conclude with hearing about the long-term consequences of unaddressed codependency in these young men. It's a must-listen!

More on thise week's guest: Sipan Nazaryan, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, graduated from Pepperdine the summer of 2023 with a masters in Clinical Psychology. He has worked under Kent Toussaint at Child & Teen Counseling for his traineeship. Sipan currently is working under Anita Avedian at Anger Management 818 / Avedian Counseling Center for his associateship.  https://childteencounseling.org/  https://angermanagement818.com/  Contact: sipan@counseling-centers.com  Connection Parenting Book Sipan references: https://www.amazon.com/Connection-Parenting-Through-Instead-Coercion/dp/1932279768  More deets on the episode: We begin with hearing Sipan's definition of codependency: an addiction to a specific relationship; where one has difficulty distinguishing where they end and someone else begins. And how does that look in the population Sipan specializes in working with: teen boys? Codependent teen boys often see themselves through the eyes of another; they're perspective is skewed through another's lens; they take in another person's perspective to an extreme; they find purpose in a relationship; they “have to” be with someone in particular; and they lose their friends due to an over-focus on another relationship. On social media, these types of relationships are often referred to as “my twin flame” or “soul mate.”  So what does codependency look like in teen boys (since we don't often expect them to be codependent)? Sipan shares how teen boys are susceptible to codependency since they are in a state attempting to individuate while also susceptible to the influence of their parents, friends, mentors, coaches, etc. This phase of life requires boundary setting and group embeddedness, however, if they struggle to set boundaries or become too embedded in their relationships, they can fall into the grasp of codependency.  And how does Sipan approach working with teen boys, especially those who are resistant to therapy? Sipan acknowledges how this population is often difficult to work with for therapists. Through a series of steps, Sipan connects with his teen client's parents, establishes the teen client's autonomy in therapy, sets boundaries with the parents, and connects with his client through the self-object and timeline activities.  Sipan reflects on how work with teen boys and their parents who were codependent on them. This looks like the parent projecting anxiety onto their son, being hyper-protective of them, and an overall discomfort with their son individuating. Sipan works with the parents by providing psychoeducation to help them connect with their son on a deeper level to avoid always providing instruction or correction to him while lessening their codependent grip.  We end with hearing a message of warning and hope for young men: if their codependency is unaddressed, their relationships are left fragile and lacking stability. With help from therapy, teen boys are able to create strong, stable relationships and can cope with difficulty much better.  Thanks for coming on Sipan! And thank you for listening, my dear listener!

-How do couples interact when they are under the ‘spell of codependency?' -Why is it that ‘high-functioning' codependents act immature and childlike in romantic relationships? -What can couples do to break their codependent patterns? Welcome to Episode 144! This week, the amazing Connie Morlett Maddison, LMFT, joins us to talk about her experience treating codependency in couples. Connie shares about the couples she has worked with and how the ‘high-functioning' codependent partner often behaves in an immature, childlike, and over-reliant manner when it comes to problem-solving, conflict, and compromise. We also discuss the dynamic between the ‘codependent partner' and the ‘partner they are codependent on' since it is a symbiotic relationship! It's not all on the codependent! We conclude with ways Connie helps couples combat codependency through ‘uncoupling' and improving their respective relationships with themselves. It's a must-listen!

More on thise week's guest: Connie Morlett Maddison, LMFT,  is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice in Claremont, California. She is also an adjunct professor teaching clinical psychology with an emphasis in Multicultural and Latino Community mental health. Connie proudly identifies as Chicana, born in East Los Angeles, and raised by her maternal grandparents in Queretaro, Mexico. www.morlettcounseling.com  More deets on the episode: We begin with Connie's definition of codependency: when one surrenders their own identity for the benefits of love, security, safety, belonging, and survival. She emphasizes how being dependent is nothing to villainize and how, from a sociological lens, it is a good thing. However, when relationships become conditional like codependency often does, it is unhealthy.  Connie recollects her own codependent relationship with her younger sister. Due to their circumstance, they relied heavily on one another and this lead to each of them wanting the other's approval, love, validation, and so on. Connie highlighted how, if and when she did not get the approval or communication from her sister that she needed, it felt like abandonment. Such a great description of our codependent experience! We shift gears to Connie's expertise: working with couples in therapy. She shares her observations of the codependent parter's behavior, including how we often seize our partners, give up our autonomy/self-trust/wisdom/intuition, become child-like and immature during conflict, and rely on our partner as a “mighty source.” This looks like bickering, fighting, passive-aggressiveness, and name-calling on the day-to-day.  And what about the partner of the codependent? We often focus on our behavior but it's a symbiotic relationship! What about the partner in this dynamic? Connie states how the relationships are symbiotic “and they can become parasitic.” The other partner has been codependent too! Their behavior includes staying in the relationship and fulfilling needs despite how draining it is.  To address these challenges, Connie has couples ask themselves: how do you get your needs met for yourself first? They must have a willingness and motivation to have a relationship with themselves first THEN address the needs in the relationship. What needs are most important to you? Attention, acceptance, affection, appreciation, or allowance.  We conclude with Connie's experience of witnessing couples do the work of “uncoupling” and creating a relationship with themselves: they feel relieved, responsible for their own needs, and become sexy to one another as mature partners!  Thanks for coming on Connie!

Trauma Bonding With a Borderline - What Codependents Need To KnowBetrayal or trauma bonding with someone with Borderline Personality Disorder is how these relationships between Borderlines and Codependents dysfunction. It's why they are so painful. It's why they are so hard to end. It's why so many can't do anything but continue to pursue getting the BPD Ex back.It's why they are relationship impossibility and partners or BPD Ex's (Codependents) lose themselves and get increasingly hurt and need to go no contact and get into their own healing and recovery processes to break these Trauma Bonds.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions

“Many times we will attract partners who are usually the opposite, usually because there is that polarity and that polarity breeds juicy attraction.” – Dr. Neeta Bhushan   In this episode of The Brave Table, I'm going to take you through the unmistakable markers that indicate an emotionally unfulfilling relationship. I've been there. I've done that. And, I want to make sure that you have the knowledge you need to make changes too! We're not going to bypass uncomfortable truths, though. We'll explore the intriguing question of why we find ourselves drawn to partners who seem emotionally distant. In the words of Taylor Swift, “It's me. Hi. I'm the problem it's me!” But, we're not going to sit in the suck. We'll uncover the roots of these dynamics, often stemming from our formative years and early experiences. In this episode we talk about… Why people with deep emotions often attract partners who are emotionally unavailable. Signs of emotional unavailability, including avoidance and deflection, increase conflict and decrease connection. Ways to improve relationships, strategies for addressing emotional unavailability ourselves or our partners. Now, if you find yourself immersed in this dynamic—whether you opt to persist or let go—it's so important to assume responsibility for your own emotional journey.

Borderline and Codependent Dance of Impossible Connection Borderline and Codependent dance of impossible connection comes together from the wounded childhoods (to varying degrees) of both. People with BPD cannot connect from a lack of self. People with Codependency have learned to try to please and over-give to others to connect. It is the woundedness of each that creates the betrayal bonds - that is not just a one-way street like so many with Codependency believe.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions

Dontea' is also the host of the Situationsh!t Podcast, where she fearlessly tackles those common mental health hang ups that we've all experienced, from feeling like you're too much to not enough at all. She wants women to know their worth doesn't come from being in a relationship nor what others think of them. www.soireesintherapy.com  www.dontea.co  Free situationship quiz: www.dontea.co/quiz  https://www.instagram.com/soireesintherapy  https://www.tiktok.com/@soireesintherapy  More deets on the episode: We begin with hearing Dontea's definition of codependency: when in relation with another, seeing them as a life source. “I need them or else my life will not be as vibrant, hopeful, exciting. I will be nothing and have nothing without you.”  Dontea' opens up about codependency in her own life, including a former friendship during college where “we did everything together.” Dontea' recalls how it ended in a big blow up where she was left feeling hurt and with very few connections since she had focused on that friendship so much. We discuss the “codependent fork” she came to and how we all are often presented with these choices: stay with the familiar versus make a change. Oh, how easy it is for us to choose sticking with the familiar, right? We shift focus to Dontea's work with those in the dating world. She lists common codependent behaviors when dating: pressure, especially for women, to “get it right;” avoid scaring a date off, avoid a date judging you, attempting to be “chosen,” get a 2nd date, contort oneself. I recall how I cried when I first met my now-husband since I was so terrified that I could ruin it or scare him off.  Dontea' details how we can change our mindset to that of being “chosen” to doing the choosing ourselves. Spoiler alert: it's a process! She emphasizes how we need to: 1) take time to ask yourself and get to know what you want, what you need, and how you want to show up; 2) challenge your old mindset by affirming “I deserve this;” 3) Practice choosing by continually asking yourself if you like the person your dating, whether you want to communicate with them, etc.; and 4) seek support from a circle who have the same mindset.  Dontea' offers ways we can recognize our codependency in dating and make changes to nurture our self-worth. She advises to be curious and reflect if you find yourself ruminating, thinking “now my life can start” thanks to being with someone, and think you need to be needed. In regards to self-worth, Dontea' suggests spending time with oneself, creating your own definition of self-worth, and aligning your life with that definition.  Thanks for coming on Dontea'!

-What does codependency look like in families navigating addiction? -Why is it that setting boundaries is so emphasized in these families? -How do you set boundaries with loved ones struggling with addiction? And does it lead to living happily ever after? Welcome to Episode 142!  In this episode, Nick Bognar returns to discuss codependency in families navigating addiction. We all know that codependents tend to take on their caretaking roles with dependents (those struggling with addiction or alcoholism) but what does that really look like? Nick describes the common traits of codependents in families navigating addiction and why setting boundaries is so important in these situations. Nick gets specific on what it looks like to set boundaries, both with addicts and other family members, and how to overcome the pain that often comes with boundaries. We conclude with a message from hope about the long-term positive changes boundaries provide. It's a must-listen!

More on this week's guest:  Nick Bognar is a therapist in Pasadena, CA who specializes in men's issues and codependence. Nick's favorite thing in the world is helping clients learn how to set boundaries. In his spare time, Nick acts in various film projects under the stage name "Ryan Gosling". www.nickbognartherapy.com  Resource for therapists: https://go.actionpracticebuilding.com https://www.instagram.com/nickbognarmft/  Nick's first episode on The Codependummy Podcast: https://codependummy.com/codependency-as-a-super-power-say-what/  More deets on the episode:  We begin by hearing Nicks' expansion on his initial definition of codependency: taking care of people until it kills you…which is made of a set of behaviors, set of beliefs where there's a non-reciprocity with people or the world. These behaviors, beliefs, and the lack of reciprocity tend to cause a lot of misery, suffering, and lead people into therapy.  Nick opens up about codependency in his life, including when he worked as a waiter. He recalls how he was good at it thanks to being adept at anticipating people's needs. He'd extend himself to his customers and often end up feeling betrayed, miserable, and disappointed since he took care of their needs and they did not take care of his.  We shift focus to codependency in families navigating addiction. Nick details codependent behaviors in these families, including secret-keeping, an over-focus on a “problem child” while ignoring the addiction, caretaking, and preserving the notion of peace.  Nick spells out why setting boundaries is so often emphasized in these families: 1) there is an overstepping of boundaries in said families; and 2) lack of boundaries lead to neglect of self-care. The boundary-less-ness leads a codependent to take on a role of being caring, anticipating needs, allowing abuse, and suffering quietly.  We explore what boundaries look like in these families which fall on a spectrum: on one end, boundaries with an addict can involve a complete cut-off from communication; on the other end, it can be refusing to be around them when they drink/use. Nick highlights how boundaries often are confused as a way to say “no,” however, it's truly a way to say “yes” to maintaining relationships.  While boundaries are painful, Nick stresses how no amount of help on your part will save a loved one. He recalls helping former clients with setting boundaries and shares a message hope for the positive impact they can have. So go out there and set those boundaries!  Thanks for coming on Nick!

Topics, stories and how-to's for people who are, or aim to be, enlightened functional adults, secure attachment people, restorative embodied self-aware human beings, and for those who are always compassionate and unconditionally loving with loved ones, humanity and life. The episodes share stories, inner growth mindset exercises, and examples of having corrective experiences with your loved ones that lead to growing and strengthening of the relationships and to repair splinters or ruptures brought about due to reactive unresolved trauma and attachment wounds from the adaptive child self relationships in our lives with people who have yet to completely achieve secure attachment and self-agency. We talk about how the 5D SEE enlightenment functional adult love language holds unconditional love and compassion for all our relationships, no matter what flaws and imperfections may arise. We also explore how this supports integration of the mind, activation of our human social engagement system, and how this is what creates the safe space for two or more people to continue communicating and having the corrective experiences that lead to secure attachment functional adult relationships. The unbreakable bonds that all people can create when they bring about the IHP-IG 5D SEE enlightenment functional adult love language and infinite higher human consciousness potential experiences arise from your choosing to pursue and be your secure attachment and compassionate self, your restorative embodied self-aware human being, who is consistently expanding consciousness and more.

The 5D relationship is unconditionally loving, quantum based, no attachments or entanglements. For the 5D relationship trust is about expanding consciousness not about actions or interactions, or about what you tell or don't tell each other. 5D relationships always involve functional adults, which are people who are: forgiving, nuanced, know all people have trauma, respect all mental health clusters - including cluster B. 5D relationships involve people who are always able to say "f**" you", to agree to disagree even on the most important and sensitive topics, intimate or world-wide, and to continue treating each other with unconditional love, respect, and kindness. 5D relationships are all inclusive and DO NOT do cancel culture. 5D relationships are people who accept each other for who they are as humans, normal people with flaws and imperfections who can communicate about things, have compassion and use mental health and brain science to open up healthy adult conversations about attachment and biological rudeness, etc. Love, Maria

I said it was coming and here it is! As a follow up to last week's episode on Love Addiction I'm offering the antidote; a Love Detox! After breaking down how love addiction can develop when we're seeking to have unmet needs, insecurities, fears, or wounds healed by a romantic connection, I now share how we can kick the habit by taking a break & abstaining from unhealthy, toxic, destructive love relationships.On this Identify and Heal solo episode, I explain my idea of a two-fold process for a Love Detox. Step 1: We can choose, once we've gone through enough pain, suffering, heartbreak, and grief from love addiction to finally get sober. In order to get sober we have to first detox the drugs out of our system. I share how we can start by abstaining from any form of dating, sexual intimacy or relationships to take the time we need to heal and get back to ourselves. Then in step two, we do the work to begin truly loving, honoring, and respecting ourselves enough that we're rising up from low level connections towards high quality, true, nourishing, healthy experiences of love.Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

Your girl just came from therapy and she is vennnnnntttinnng! This week I lament about the Shitty Summer we all seem to be having, my volatile relationship with “trying” and “hustling”, and how to tell when the judgements others make of us are valid - and when we should say “fuck the haters” (or some other lame phrase). Then there was the terrifying meltdown I had before the Taylor Swift concert, and why I'm genuinely shocked my husband still loves me.

Codependency recovery is not for the faint of heart. Codependents often find themselves attracted to individuals with high narcissistic traits due to a complex interplay of psychological factors. One key reason is that codependents tend to have a deep-seated need to care for and please others. They derive a sense of self-worth and validation from being needed and relied upon by others. Narcissists, on the other hand, have an insatiable need for attention, admiration, and validation. This creates a dynamic where the codependent's desire to nurture and the narcissist's desire to be the center of attention align initially. The codependent may believe they can fulfill the narcissist's needs, while the narcissist provides the codependent with a sense of purpose and importance. Additionally, codependents often struggle with low self-esteem and an excessive need for validation from others. They may have grown up in dysfunctional or neglectful environments with unmet needs. This can lead them to seek validation and approval from external sources, such as a narcissistic partner. The grandiose and charismatic nature of narcissists can initially be captivating to codependents, as they see the narcissist as someone who can fill the void within and provide the validation they crave. However, this dynamic can become toxic over time as the codependent becomes increasingly enmeshed in meeting the narcissist's insatiable demands, losing sight of their own needs and well-being. It is important to note that not all codependents marry individuals with high narcissistic traits, and not all narcissists seek out codependents. Relationships are complex, and various factors contribute to their formation. However, understanding the dynamics that can attract codependents to narcissistic individuals can be crucial to breaking free from unhealthy patterns and fostering healthier, more balanced relationships. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano the Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Expert, takes you deep into the codependent narcissist tango.  If you are ready to breakthrough the veil of consciousness, and live an autonomous and self-actualized life, free of codependency, check out Lisa's 3 in 1 Coaching Program offer.  https://www.lisaaromano.com/btwm-special

-What is dynamic therapy and how can it treat codependency? -How can dynamic therapy help us develop awareness of our internal world? -What are the initial steps you can take to get clear on what your thinking, feeling, and needing? Welcome to Episode 141! This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Ann Krajewski about her specialty: dynamic therapy. In the episode, you'll hear Dr. Ann define dynamic therapy and how it can help treat codependency. Dr. Ann describes how codependency is perceived through a dynamic lens and it's emphasis on helping codependents understand their internal world. We explore defense mechanisms, a key concept in dynamic therapy, as well as the most common defense mechanisms amongst codependents. We conclude with Dr. Ann sharing the initial steps she takes with her clients to heal their relationships with others and themselves. It's a must-listen!

More on this week's guest:  Dr. Ann Krajewski is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Virginia. She works with adults who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and codependency. She assists her clients in healing their relationship with others and themselves so they can live a more full and satisfying life. www.dynamichealingpsychotherapy.com  More deets on the episode: We begin with hearing Dr. Ann's definition of codependency. She emphasizes how codependency often develops in individuals who “had something happen to them.” This contributes to an underdevelopment in their sense of self that results in them being attuned to the wants/needs of others while being disconnected from themselves. Ann provides examples, including having a narcissistic parent, experiencing trauma, being the victim of abuse, or chronic neglect.  Dr. Ann opens up about codepedency in her own life, personal and professional. As a practitioner, she was codependent on the input and advice from others. Personally, she was convinced her life was “over” after a long-term relationship ended. The latter experience revealed to Dr. Ann that she had unhealed parts of herself to work on (love that term ‘unhealed parts,' right?). We shift to Dr. Ann's specialty: dynamic therapy. She shares how the dynamic approach to therapy is based in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theory. The emphasis in dynamic therapy is to help a client understand their internal world–how it was formed, how it is sustained, and the patterns that maintain it. She highlights the focus on helping clients put words to their experience in order to develop insights to change their patterns.  Dr. Ann details how codependency is seen through a dynamic therapy lens. In the relational sense, codependency develops when needs or feelings are denied/dismissed which results in an underdevelopment in their sense of self. Through the internal aspect, there is a focus on the defense mechanisms that are used (unconsciously) to manage thoughts and feelings. The emphasis is to get to the origin of our defense mechanisms.  We discuss common defense mechanisms of codependents, including projection, reaction formation, and turning against the self to avoid feelings like anger, grief, and sadness.  Dr. Ann offers the initial steps she takes with her clients to help them heal their relationships with others and themselves. She aims to help her clients develop an understanding of what is happening/their reality, helps them articulate what they are thinking/feeling/experiencing, focus on talking about themselves and their reality, and gives them agency as it is deeply uncomfortable to think for themselves.  Thanks for coming on Dr. Ann!!

The lights are on, but you're not home. Your mind is not your own. Your heart sweats, your body shakes. Another kiss is what it takes..... You know you're gonna have to face it your ADDICTED TO LOVE - Robert Palmer, Addicted to Love Can we really consider love to be something that you can be addicted to? I sure think so. Love is the most powerful force in the Universe so, ya! You can easily get hooked on the stuff in an effort to get your fix for trauma or fear based deficiencies. Many of us seek out love to gain approval, validation, a sense of worthiness, acceptance, and to believe that we matter. Yet, is this true? Can a loving partner determine our worth and value? No. A healthy relationship can enhance our life, however, any relationship healthy, toxic, or otherwise can never truly change how you feel about yourself in the long run. So then why do so many of us have such a hard time letting go of dead end, abusive, unhealthy connections? It's that drug effect, baby! The dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin. To feel that sense of ease and relief when someone gives us affection after they've taken it away. The chase for the highs after suffering the lows. Around and around we go! And is it ever hard to get off of that toxic relationship ride once you've gotten on.  On this identify and heal solo episode I offer my take on love addiction: what it looks like, how it develops, and why it's imperative to kick the habit for good if we want to truly experience a codependent-free, loving, Divine soul partnership.

There is a simple question you can ask yourself throughout your day that can help you find greater peace of mind and let go of intrusive thought loops. The question is to ask ourselves, Is That True? Asking this question can allow us to pause and take a second to explore whether or not what we're telling ourselves about ourselves or deciding to believe about another person or situation is in fact completely accurate or perhaps may be tied to fear or assumptions. Which, by the way, is a pretty brutal combo when you come to assumptions out of fear, perhaps fearing the worst or making rash judgements. It also allows us to enter that Divine Feminine space of stillness, reflection, consideration, and balance. To sit with something rather than act on it impulsively. Then once we're able to decide if something does indeed feel true for us, we can honor that.On this Divine Feminine solo episode I start by exploring what is Truth itself, how this question of Is That True can be very helpful, and I also get into the work of the wonderful Byron Katie who first inspired me to begin this practice. In her work, she elaborates on additional steps to take that allow for a greater place of inquiry to reduce the distress, anger, and remorse that can result from the blanket statements of declaring something true that may or may not be so.Byron Katie, https://thework.com/ Thoth Tarot Deck, www.tarot.com/tarot/decks/crowley Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

-What does codependency look like with coaches, mentors, and gurus? -What can go wrong when you rely too much on a coach? -How can you focus on your inner work to ultimately decide what is best for you? (rather than continuing to rely on the advice of others) Welcome to Episode 140! This week, Dr. Rima Bonario is back for her third interview! During our time together, we took an in-depth look at what codependency can look like with coaches, mentors, gurus (really any authority figure). As a coach, Rima sheds light on what codependency can look like as a participant/mentee/student: leaving your brain at the door. She describes the good and bad of being codependent with a coach, the long-term consequences, and what codependents can be mindful of to avoid an over-reliance on mentors. We conclude with Rima's advice on how to focus on our inner work to avoid so much outer dependence on others.

What a gift! We start off with hearing what codependency looks with coaches/mentors/gurus (and other authority figures!). Rima describes how, as a participant, codependency can look like: finding someone you resonate with and concluding “this person has all the answers.” She describes how codependents will “leave our brain at the door” and potentially make decisions that our coach wants, however, are out of alignment with our ultimate goals.  We hear how Rima has observed codependency in herself as well as her coaching clients. She describes how, culturally, we love the “expert” archetype. However, if we are not careful, we neglect to think critically about their advice/input/teaching and do things that don't work for us. Rima emphasizes how we must balance our lineage and gnosis.  Rima highlights how codependents are vulnerable to vertical and horizontal worship in coaching settings: we worship our coach while attempting to please our peers. “This soothes us but it is a trap.” Ultimately, blind codependency with a coach/mentor/guru can lead us to spend money excessively on their programs, feeling more confused about our direction, relying on outer guidance excessively, and poor self-esteem.  How can we avoid codependency with coaches/mentors/gurus? Rima suggests “taking your ‘no' with you,” taking time for inner wisdom/guidance, practicing self-forgiveness and self-compassion, knowing your goals, and inhabiting ease.  Rima spells out initial steps to cultivating our inner work, including a focus on being over doing, affirmations, attributing our success to ourselves, using mistakes as teaching moments, co-creating with others (like coaches), and working through a place of ease.  Thanks for coming on Rima!

Love bombing gets a lot of attention and is usually discussed alongside narcissism or when we discuss trauma bonding. But what I've seen more often in my over 35 years of experience is something I call Attention Flooding, which can look like love bombing, but its origins are actually from codependency and feelings of low self-worth. Today I'm teaching you the difference between love bombing and Attention Flooding, the signs to look for, and my top three tips for building healthier and more fulfilling relationships based on mutual respect and genuine affection. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/is-it-love-bombing-or-codependent-affection-flooding Grab my FREE Mindfulness Starter Kit: https://abbymedcalf.com/product/mindfulness-starter-kit/ ____________________________ Want to feel happier and more connected in your relationship?

Spiritual awakening is a bittersweet path to enlightenment. Awakening shatters our perception of reality. We are not taught to observe our thoughts, actions, perceptions, opinions or beliefs. Sadly, if we are raised by toxic parents, or suffer abuse, especially in childhood, as adults, we can remain unaware of how our brain, minds, and bodies have acclimated to trauma. By default, the brain is wired for survival. Below the veil of consciousness, triggers cause particular reactions within us. And because we are not taught to look within, and the world around us is so noisy and full of distractions, we simply react to all that is happening within us and cannot see the loopholes.  Awakening is bittersweet because you will need to come out of denial, and you will also need to start paying more attention to emotions you may have pushed away. It is not your fault if you do not know how to process emotions healthily and if your subconscious mind was programmed to believe hiding your true self was what you should do. However, it is possible to reclaim your personal power, silence the outer noise, and learn how to connect to your authentic self.  Enlightenment is a journey by which your consciousness expands beyond the limits of egoic constructs. However, ego is as necessary as the higher self.  We are here to awaken, learn, expand, and remember who we truly are.  Suppose you are ready to break through the veil of unconsciousness. In that case, Lisa A. Romano has created online courses and private communities to help you ascend the various matrixes in our world today, from childhood programming, to collective unconsciousness, doctrine, and relationship trauma.  Start Your Healing and Awakening Journey Today! https://www.lisaaromano.com/12-wbcp

Regret is not inherently a bad thing to experience. In its initial stage regret can enable us to realize that we do not prefer the choice or action we made in a situation and would act differently in the future. Regret can keep us chained to the past, however, if we feel unable to learn from it, release it, and move on. Easier said than done sometimes, especially if we feel that something we did or didn't do changed the course of our lives. So how do we sit with this regret? Make peace with our past and perceived mistakes? it's not always simple and lived regret can feel like torture.On this Divine Feminine solo episode I wanted to address the topic of regret and how to release it. What it can feel like in our minds, bodies, and emotions and how it can weigh us down and keep us feeling apart from our Divine Feminine selves. I share some of my own experience with regret and struggles to let it go. Then I get into how we can make small steps towards making peace with our past decisions, see every experience in our lives as a pivotal piece of our greater growth and evolution, and open ourselves up to fully live our lives free from codependent hang ups.Spirit Animal Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid, https://www.hayhouse.com/the-spirit-animal-oracle-card-deckJoin the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

-What does it mean to “people-please?” -Why do many women, in particular, engage in people-pleasing behaviors? -What are the initial steps you can take to STOP people-pleasing? Welcome to Episode 139! This week, we are graced with the presence of Alyse Freda-Colon for her second interview all about: PEOPLE-PLEASING. In the episode, you'll hear Alyse define what “people-pleasing” means (since we all self-identify as such but do we really know what it means?). We then look into why women in particular are vulnerable to people-pleasing, what it looks like in our day-to-day life, and what the short- and long-term consequences are (believe me, it ain't pretty!). Alyse shares how she helps her clients, especially those in her group Are You Mad At Me?, to stop people-pleasing and embrace that some people may not like us. It's a must-listen!

More on this week's guest:  Alyse Freda-Colon is a therapist in private practice in New York and has recently launched 2 small group coaching programs-Stop Dating Assholes! and Are you Mad at Me?, the latter is for women who are overthinking people pleasers who are tired of bending themselves into a pretzel to make everyone around them happy, often at their own expense. Coachingwithalyse.com https://www.instagram.com/coachingwithalyse/  Join Alyse's group: https://www.coachingwithalyse.com/are-you-mad-at-me  More deets on the episode:  We begin by hearing Alyse expand on her definition of codependency: “When you're emotional okay-ness is dependent on someone else.” She adds how codependents cannot compartmentalize or separate themselves from others.  We shift focus to what it specifically means to people-please. Alyse describes how it can be seen as a negative description and, in contrast, as a “badge of honor.” This involves self-sacrifice, putting your needs at the bottom of the list, giving without replenishment, doing whatever you can regardless of how it impacts you, and controlling the narrative.  Alyse shares with us what people-pleasing looks like day-to-day: with spouses, children, and friends. This manifests through behaviors like: not saying “no,” having a fear of disappointing others, giving excessively, neglecting to asks for needs, and staying quiet to keep the peace.  And why are women vulnerable to people-pleasing? Alyse spells out how, due to cultural conditioning, women are concerned with how we are perceived by others. This is a consequence of our modeling of caretaking behavior, reinforcement from others, negative judgment from others, etc.  We discuss the short- and long-term consequences of people-pleasing. For the short-term, we end up not getting self-care, feeling unfulfilled, lack time to care for ourselves, and miss out on self-decadence/self-indulgence (the good kind!). For the long-term, the consequences include becoming resentful, martyrdom, identity crises, and not being a person onto oneself.  What's a codependent to do to stop people-pleasing? Schedule time for yourself, work through your fears of others being mad at you, use interactions as an opportunity to feel disliked, sit with the feelings, and get comfortable with the fact that not all people will like you.  Thanks for coming on Alyse!

Codependency is a concept that refers to a psychological, spiritual, or emotional reliance on another person in a way that can be harmful and often includes enabling behavior. Codependent relationships are often out of balance, and a codependent person may ignore their own needs in favor of their loved ones' needs. Codependent people have trouble establishing healthy relationships and may end up in one-sided or even abusive relationships. Join Director of Care to Change, April Bordeau and Therapist, Teresa Haskins, as they discuss how to recognize and address codependency. Resources: Spiritual Practices for the BrainTry Softer BoundariesThe Happiness AdvantageBoundaries by Cloud & TownsendCodependent No More Other Helpful Podcasts: Becoming a Better Version of MeSchedule an appointment at Care to ChangeText us your thoughts or questions at our Care Line: 317-979-7133For more information about Care to Change visit  www.caretochange.orgFollow Care to Change on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/CaretoChange.org/ Follow Care to Change on Instagram or Twitter @care_to_change

Most of us have heard of the term " A Spiritual Awakening", yet what does it actually mean? Is it something that happens instantaneously or over time? Is there something we have to do to bring it about? Do they happen for everyone? Are they positive or unpleasant experiences? These are some questions I wanted to explore so I decided to do an Identify and Heal solo episode on the topic to share my personal experience, common concepts and misconceptions around it, the challenges of an SA, and the beautiful benefits. There are many ways that a Spiritual Awakening moves us into greater alignment with our Divine Feminine self and begin to end patterns of codependency and self destruction. So take a listen and see if anything rings true for your own experience or sounds familiar for what you may have been going through lately. You might just be beginning your awakening journey.Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

In the midst of our day to day lives it can be easy to get caught up in the minutiae & illusion of obligations, needs, and requirements. There is a vital importance in taking time and space to release all these material notions and duties and connect with our true essence and self. This is how we find peace and reconnect with the truth that we are not what we do, we are not what happens to us, we are not our fears, doubts, or insecurities. We are a Divine, unique being with precious gifts to bring to the World. Without taking time and creating space where we can fee fully into out Divine Feminine power, we may become lost and unable to let our light shine. On this Divine Feminine solo episode, I offer insight and suggestions about creating a sacred space in your life and the importance & benefits of doing so.Nature Whispers Oracle Deck; https://blueangelonline.com/shop/card-decks/oracle-cards/natures-whispers/Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

-Why do overachieving codependents find it so hard to practice self-care? -How can cooking help one combat their codependency and nourish themselves? -What are the initial steps we can take to focus our attention on self-nourishment? Welcome to Episode 138! This week, I sat down with Kristin Tand, counselor and cooking coach, to explore the magical world of cooking and how it fosters self-nourishment. Kristin describes how overachieving codependents often over-function in their professional lives which leads to them neglecting self-care in their personal ones. We investigate the long-term impact of self-neglect and how cooking can help us bring us back to our bodies. Kristin details the benefits of cooking and how she helps her clients take the initial steps to set time aside to prepare, cook, and serve themselves. It's a must-listen!

She is passionate about helping overwhelmed adults slow down the hustle for perfection and start nourishing themselves in the kitchen. Kristin teaches tips and tricks to get out of your head and into your body, using cooking as a vehicle for living a richer life--while also taking the intimidation factor out of how to cook. www.inthekitchenwithkristin.com  https://www.youtube.com/@inthekitchenwithkristin  Sign-up for Kristin's reflection bundle on her website: www.inthekitchenwithkristin.com  More deets on the episode:  We begin with hearing Kristin's definition of codependency: an adaptive strategy (often in childhood) used to get your needs met that then becomes unadaptive (often in adulthood). Kristin shares her child development perspective and how codependency often stems from intelligent and strategic behaviors to get one's needs met.  Kristin opens up about codependency from her own life, from early dating experiences with her husband to promotions at work thanks to her overachieving tendencies. Her codependency led to her developing fatigue, chronic pain, and eventually quitting her former position to start her own business.  We shift focus to codependency, self-care, and self-nourishment. Kristin highlights the common consequences of self-neglect, including fatigue, chronic pain, burnout, shame and imposter syndrome, never feeling satisfied, anxiety, and fear. If one is codependent in their professional life, they may even develop an unhealthy reliance on their partners to take care of household tasks.  And how might cooking combat the self-neglect inherent in codependency? Kristin emphasizes how eating is nourishment and how it is a process of slowing down, taking time to make what you want, tap into your 5 senses, get back in your body, and re-parent yourself. Wow!  And how does one begin to self-nourish through cooking? Kristin describes her two initial steps: 1) awareness and understanding; and 2) taking small steps. Kristin lists the common objections she hears from her clients when it comes to cooking (failure, shame, limited time, etc.) and how she engages in reflective questioning to help them identify the barriers and make changes in order to start small–like cooking one meal a month. She also notes how she combats codependency from her clients to her by helping them identify their motives: are they looking for a gold star or nourishing themselves.  Thanks for coming on Kristin!

In this transformative discussion, we shed light on how codependence emerges when individuals compromise their own boundaries to support others, sometimes to the detriment of their own well-being. Origins of the term "CoAlcoholic" provide insight into the roots of this complex issue. We aim to break down these concepts with empathy, unveiling the profound consequences that arise when we neglect our own needs while excessively giving to others. My wife Cynthia, a skilled trauma therapist, discuss this unhealthy dynamic along with what you can do to recognize and avoid falling into this destructive pattern.  Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.

We've all been there before. We've sworn off dating, deciding to take a break and focus on ourselves until the real deal comes along. And then...someone does come along, but it ain't quite it. Yet it is someone to date, spend time with, have sex with, text with, and share life with. Nothing wrong with exploring options yet at what point do we decide that we're REALLY ready to wait for the one? Getting involved with someone has its repercussions. We get caught up in emotional attachment and companionship among other things and before we know it months or years have past. If you've gone through enough cycles and you know what you REALLY want, why bother settling for less?On this identify and heal solo episode, I talk about the risk we take in accepting low grade connections that can keep us tied up emotionally and mentally with someone who isn't our person. Knowing that a connection is not the one isn't always a reason to cut it off, it can be great to get experience, yet at a certain point when you're done with “learning” from dating and want to find a true, long lasting partnership it may no longer be advantageous to go another round through the cycle of failed relationships and to rather hold out for an aligned & divine Soul Mate.Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

-What is Autism and how does it relate to codependency? -How is “high masking,” a common trait in high-functioning autism, similar and different to codependency? -How can individuals with autism let go of their codependent behaviors? Welcome to Episode 137! This week, we welcome back Gina Metcalf, LCSW, to hear about her recent observations of ASD and codependency. You'll hear about ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and how, due to their neurodivergency, many with autism engage in “high masking” behaviors to please and perform for others. Gina details how autism and codependency relate and differ. You'll hear how individuals can distinguish whether they have ASD and how they can then address their codependent behaviors they have developed as a consequence. We end with Gina's take on how we can also be codependent with loved one's who have autism and what we can do to address it. It's a must-listen!

More on this week's guest:  Gina Metcalf is a Licensed Therapist and Founder of North Star Therapy, a therapy practice specializing in supporting female-identifying clients around issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, and codependency. This is her second time on the show. Be sure to tune into her first episode that aired in March of 2022 titled “That's The Dream.” Gina's initial interview on the podcast: https://codependummy.com/thats-the-dream-to-be-accepted-and-authentic-with-gina-metcalf-lcsw/  www.northstartherapyinc.com  https://www.instagram.com/north.star.therapy/  Resources mentioned by Gina:  https://embrace-autism.com/  https://www.amazon.com/Unmasking-Autism-Discovering-Faces-Neurodiversity/dp/0593235231  https://www.instagram.com/neurowild_/  More deets on the episode:  We begin by revisiting Gina's definition of codependency: a lack of trust in ourselves and others. Gina describes how codependents often self-abandon, find it difficult to express or know their needs, and fear sharing their truth. Gina encourages her clients to ask themselves: if you could wake up and be honest in your relationships, what would you say? Good prompt to reflect on! Gina opens up about codependency in her own life and how she has been the “emotional taker” in her relationship with her husband. She points out the “secondary gains” of her role and the “shadow side” consequences of her role. Again, healthy to reflect on your own secondary gains and shadow side of your codependency.  We then shift gears to ASD: Autism Spectrum Disorder. Gina educates us on how autism is a neurodevelopmental difference in social functioning and hypersensitivity. She describes “high masking” which is a common trait amongst high-functioning autism where one uses strategies to hide autistic behaviors.  Gina reflects on her experiences with clients and how autism often is missed due to ableism embedded in the therapeutic process. In therapy and many areas in their life, those with autism can engage in performing and impression-making behaviors in order to “fit in,” however, this results in them feeling lonely and disconnected.  Gina distinguishes autism from codependency since it involves: 1) sensory sensitivity; 2) stemming; 3) special interests; and 4) structured routine. If Gina suspects that a client coming in for codependency is also navigating undiagnosed autism, she has learned to seek neurodivergent education, resources, online assessments, and other content and then present her observations to them. We discuss how loved one's and family members can do the same if they suspect autism in others.  As a consequence, Gina is then able to help her clients let go of their codependent patterns through awareness, identifying safe relationships to let patterns go, joining strong communities, and practicing self-empathy.  Thanks for coming on Gina!
