In this episode we welcome back friend of the show Kara Radecki with Ancora Counseling to talk about co-dependency and people pleasing. Kara shares with us the intersections between attachment style and co-dependent tendencies, who is at higher risk of co-dependent relationships, the effects of people pleasing on self esteem, and how important it is to find a way to say yes to yourself with boundaries. We also talk about the consequences of people pleasing and co-dependent relationships in our lives, and how some situations become dangerous and lead to severe depression. Codependency is characterized by a person belonging to a dysfunctional, one-sided relationship where one person relies on the other for meeting nearly all of their emotional and self-esteem needs. It also describes a relationship that enables another person to maintain their irresponsible, addictive, or underachieving behavior.

In this episode we welcome back Kara Radecki to talk about schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is often misunderstood and stigmatized. We talk about what the real life impact to people suffering with this diagnosis looks like, the struggle of day to day life, and the impact to the families supporting a loved one with schizophrenia. We break down myths, misconceptions, what causes this illness in the first place, and treatment options available for anyone affected by this. Schizophrenia involves a range of problems with thinking (cognition), behavior or emotions. Signs and symptoms may vary, but usually involve delusions, hallucinations or disorganized speech, and reflect an impaired ability to function. Symptoms may include:Delusions. These are false beliefs that are not based in reality. For example, you think that you're being harmed or harassed; certain gestures or comments are directed at you; you have exceptional ability or fame; another person is in love with you; or a major catastrophe is about to occur. Delusions occur in most people with schizophrenia.Hallucinations. These usually involve seeing or hearing things that don't exist. Yet for the person with schizophrenia, they have the full force and impact of a normal experience. Hallucinations can be in any of the senses, but hearing voices is the most common hallucination.Disorganized thinking (speech). Disorganized thinking is inferred from disorganized speech. Effective communication can be impaired, and answers to questions may be partially or completely unrelated. Rarely, speech may include putting together meaningless words that can't be understood, sometimes known as word salad.Extremely disorganized or abnormal motor behavior. This may show in a number of ways, from childlike silliness to unpredictable agitation. Behavior isn't focused on a goal, so it's hard to do tasks. Behavior can include resistance to instructions, inappropriate or bizarre posture, a complete lack of response, or useless and excessive movement.Negative symptoms. This refers to reduced or lack of ability to function normally. For example, the person may neglect personal hygiene or appear to lack emotion (doesn't make eye contact, doesn't change facial expressions or speaks in a monotone). Also, the person may have lose interest in everyday activities, socially withdraw or lack the ability to experience pleasure.To apply to work with us or for more information on Being UnNormal check out our website at www.beingunnormal.comFollow us on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingunnormalInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingunnormalpodcastSupport the show (http://www.pateron.com/beingunnormal)
