We live in a time of constant communication and short-form media, with unlimted data at our fingertips and an abundance of "experts" at the ready. While this access to information and opinions is functional at times, it can also feel overwhelming and lead to dysregulation, regression and dysfunctional behavior. So how do we handle this? In this episode, Jodi discusses the the importance of discernment and the power of pausing; why the symptoms of codependence and love addiction lead to undervaluing our instincts while overvaluing the opinions of others; and how pausing can reveal the most useful information of all.

Čeprav smo ljudje odnosna bitja in na nek način zato tudi soodvisni, so soodvisni odnosi kot nezdrav vzorec odnosov pogostejši kot si morda mislite ali pa upate priznati. Pia Mellody, ena vodilnih mednarodno priznanih strokovnjakinj za otroško travmo, soodvisnost in zasvojenost, članica priznane fakultete The Meadows Institute, v svoji knjigi, svetovni uspešnici Facing codependence (Soočanje s soodvisnostjo; slovenski prevod je izšel pri založbi Primus), soodvisnost opredeljuje kot motnjo oziroma bolezen nezrelosti, ki nastane zaradi travmatičnih odnosov v otroštvu. Zaradi disfunkcionalnih izkušenj v otroštvu soodvisen odrasli ni sposoben živeti polnega in smiselnega življenja kot zrela osebnost. V knjigi se avtorica osredotoča na pet simptomov, ki tvorijo jedro te bolezni, med katerimi so tudi težave s postavljanjem meja, ki pa so hkrati tudi najpomembnejše orodje za ozdravljenje. A kot pravi Mellodyjeva, kje se vse začne - "če ne sprejmete, kar je v vas disfunkcionalnega, ste obsojeni, da boste to ponavljali in vas bo bolelo še naprej". O vzrokih, simptomih soodvisnih odnosov ter pogumu za soočenje s svojo lastno stvarnostjo, ki je lahko tudi pot v osebno svobodo, se je avtorica in voditeljica oddaje pogovarjala s Špelo Gornik, partnersko in spolno terapevtko.

Episode 2476: Lisa Merlo-Booth explains how boundaries protect our well-being, help us avoid taking on others' negativity, and allow us to receive constructive feedback without defensiveness. By learning to distinguish between what truly matters and what isn't ours to carry, we can create more fulfilling and respectful connections. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://lisamerlobooth.com/boundaries_in_r/ Quotes to ponder: "Boundaries are a system of protection. They are meant to protect us as well as those around us." "If your partner comes home in a bad mood and is snapping at everyone in the home, then they are having a bad day, keep your boundaries up, and don't allow their bad day to become your bad day." "For now, remember that you don't want to keep everything out because that would be a wall, not a boundary. Nor do you want to let everything in because that would be boundary-less."

I think you are going to love this conversation I had with Dr. Eva Brown and her husband Paul.   This was Part 2 of my conversation with Eva, and having her husband Paul on the podcast to provide his insight, his perspective and his wisdom was fantastic.  We covered so many topics, pertinent to the issues that couples face, no matter what stage they are in their relationship.

But everyone's path to recovery is unique, and truth is that once we do get started, things might actually get harder before they get easier.

Hey all! Don't forget to sign up for my upcoming webinar on July 17th on 12:00pm- Dispelling Dieting Myths. Sign up right here: https://gilaglassberg.com/items/dispelling-diet-myths I am excited to re-air this episode with Sylky Resnicoff- all about Pia Mellody's work. The last episode I aired with Rachel Lebowitz- she actually referenced this when speaking about her work with codependency. So go and give it a listen! Don't forget to like and share this episode! It really helps me continue to make this podcast possible! In today's episode, I spoke with Sylky Resnicoff. Sylky is a certified family life coach and specializes in relational trauma. She has extensively studied Pia Mellody's work, who is an expert in codependency, now called developmental immaturity. Pia Mellody believes that we are all born whole, as experts about ourselves, but as life goes on we lose this confidence in ourselves. If we're not given what we need in childhood, our growth can get stunted. She also helps women whose husbands are struggling with pornography addiction. She offers support groups, consultations and educational lectures because it's traumatic to discover your husband has an addiction like this. There is a lot of shame involved. Sylky empowers women to educate themselves and see that they have choice instead of feeling helpless. Sylky became a family life coach and thought it was fascinating. She thought she could reinvent herself with everything she had learned but began to realize that this wasn't enough. She needed to go to the parts of her that were broken. Sylky learned that you're only as strong as your foundation is deep and she realized she was lacking in her own foundation. She was learning a lot about healing, yet she felt a void that wasn't getting filled. She hit rock bottom at a certain point and a therapist introduced her to Pia Mellody's work. Pia's work comes with a lot of training so Sylky went and did an intensive workshop. For the first time, she really got her family history straight;  what she needs, what her children need and what her role in the family really was. Mellody teaches that anything less than nurturing is abusive to the child whether it's overt abuse or covert abuse. You may not realize abuse walking into someone's house. The parents may be very well respected but emotionally there may be neglect or harm done. Most people are not trying to hurt their children on purpose. For example, using the silent treatment can make a child feel like he doesn't exist, so this can be a form of abuse for a child. This may affect a child later on in life. There are so many people who think that they are made wrong while in reality there's nothing wrong with me but with the messages I was given as a child. We work through this our entire lives. When many parents learn about this they get nervous that they're making mistakes and covertly abusing their kids. However, when parents act in a genuine fashion and are good role models for their kids, their kids will see this. Your children just need to build up a good image of you. Pia's work is all about being human but being able to grow and change. If we nurture our inner child, parenting will become a much more natural process. Parents nowadays need more guidance. Every person who works on themselves knows that parenting is about growing yourself as a person. You can do certain things to help remind you who you want to be, like checking in on your kids everyday, but it's also about doing your own work. When we do our own work we relate to our marriage differently, we are more open to have harder conversations, we can own up to things and we'll have more strength to hear our children without taking things personally.  (See the full blog post on my website www.gilaglassberg.com) To see more episodes like this visit my website www.gilaglassberg.com.

Love addiction comes with a set of symptoms, leading to a pattern of dysfunctional relationships; whether we tend to be more anxious or more avoidant (or both), we may find ourselves in the push/pull of addictive relationships more than once. Then, after each relationship we say "I'll never do that again", fully intending to make some changes, but...   Even if we enter love addiction recovery and address the symptoms, we may still find that we're unknowingly driven by outdated messages telling us who we're supposed to be and how we're supposed to live our lives. Why? Because of inherited cultural beliefs that infiltrate our decision-making.   In this episode, Jodi discusses these cultural beliefs--how they fuel love addiction, and can meddle with life in recovery, too. She also reviews the symptoms of codependence and love addiction, and talks about the impact that seemingly benign labels can have on kids.     Show notes and resources:   Music by JD Pendley   Jodi's website: jodiwhiteonline.com   References: Facing Codependence and Facing Love Addiction by Pia Mellody; Ready to Heal by Kelly McDaniel   Album mentioned: Just a Girl by No Doubt   Disclaimer:   This podcast is shared for educational and informational purposes only.

The term 'love addiction' is often referred to in the context of romantic relationships, but did you know that the symptoms can apply to platonic relationships, too? In this episode, Jodi talks about her history with undervaluing herself in friendships and overlooking red flags in order to belong and be the "best friend". She's joined by her friend Brooke (from "A Breakup Story"), to discuss the complexity of female friendships past and present.

If you're a listener of the podcast, then you've heard Jodi talk about 'that therapist'--the one she worked with in 2016, who taught her about love addiction, supported her through withrawal, and played a vital role in her in early recovery. That therapist is Dr. Lara Dye, a Pia Mellody-trained psychologist specializing in love & sex addiction, limerence--and who has personal experience with love addiction recovery. And, because she was such an important part of Jodi's recovery journey, she invited Dr. Dye to talk with her for this episode of the podcast. Music by JD Pendley

Michelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor and expert in treating sexual betrayal and trauma. She is also the founder of the Center for Relational Recovery in Northern Virginia, outside of DC. “Divorce is common, and cheating is common. Because they are common,  it doesn't mean they're not tremendously significant and have enormous ramifications for our mental and physical health,” says Michelle. During our conversation, we discuss the importance of understanding what happened, explore betrayal through the lens of attachment systems, and unravel what happens to us when we experience this enormous injury.   Featured topics include: A new attachment-based model for understanding the impacts of cheating in relationships (8:58) Some of the binds in relationships that we can get stuck in including the shame bind and relational binds (12:01) What gets in the way of leaving when we want or know we need to leave (35:43) Healing and repairing relationships: what it means to stay, and what it takes to repair the fractures betrayal has caused (45:02) The difference between rebuilding emotional connection and rebuilding sexual connection (50:21) Learn more about Michelle Mays: Michelle Mays is a Licensed Professional Counselor and expert in treating sexual betrayal and trauma.

What can we do when were triggered by our partner?There's a quote by Pia Mellody, “Being a functional adult is taking care of our wounding, instead of letting it loose on others…” How do we do this? If we can, we will be better partners and parents. Jason A Polk is a couples therapist and relationship coach.

This week we're taking a deep dive into BOUNDARIES. What does it really mean to "have no boundaries" and what do we do with those people in our lives who make us crazy because they don't respect our boundaries? How do we set a boundary and, most importantly, what if our own boundaries need some work? Referenced in this episode: Facing Codependence by Pia Mellody

Kristy and Jerry take a deeper look at how self-esteem (yours!) remains at the core of a relationship's chances for success. The futility of trying to change your partner while not feeling good enough about yourself (or even knowing your own needs) is discussed, with special attention paid to each of the four quadrants conceptualized by Terry Real (and Pia Mellody) in Relational Life Therapy. 

When we're enmeshed with a parent we might feel responsible for taking care of them emotionally, and guilty if we don't do what they expect of us. And while enmeshment is often uncomfortable, it may also come with feeling special and can be very challenging to recognize and overcome. In this episode, Jodi talks with Dr. Kenneth Adams, therapist and author of "When He's Married to Mom", about mother-enmeshed men: What is childhood like for them? What are their adult relationships like? And how to recover from enmeshment and have functional adult relationships (with both partners and parents). Music by JD Pendley  

Are you familiar with the concept of assigned family roles--roles assigned in childhood that are either falsely empowering or disempowering? Maybe you've heard of The Hero, The Lost Child, or The Scapegoat? But what does all of this mean? In this episode, Jodi discusses The Hero and Lost Child, and how these roles contribute to love avoidance or addiction. And she talks with London-based coach, Mary Toolan, regarding the role known as the toxic family's dustbin: The Scapegoat. Music by JD Pendley

This week, I'm sitting down with Psychotherapist and Trauma/Addictions Specialist Diane Young, to discuss the impact of childhood trauma and how this often leads to the development of codependent traits in adulthood. Codependency is very similar to other process addictions such as gambling or eating disorders, and often develops as a result of experiencing trauma throughout childhood. In this week's episode, Diane explains the characteristics of a codependent along with outlining Pia Mellody's Developmental Model of Immaturity, which details the basic needs of a child and what happens when these needs are not met.

In love addiction recovery, we focus a lot on developmental trauma and what took place in our family of origin (because looking at our history is important). But there's something else that plays a role in love addiction: Cultural messaging. In this episode, Jodi's friend, Brooke, joins her to talk about the recent Victoria's Secret documentary; and how the company's marketing in the early 2000s led to confusing messages about beauty, and furthered the cultural double bind women experience. Jodi and Brooke also share personal experiences about sexual harassment, body insecurity, and how uncomfortable it is to talk about 'this stuff'. Music by JD Pendley  

We had Darren Littlejohn on episode 176 two and half years ago to talk about his first book, The 12 Step Buddhist and he's back to talk about his latest work Compassionate Recovery: Mindful Healing for Trauma and Addictions. The importance and need for the work contained in the aforementioned book by my friend Darren cannot be understated. To paraphrase Darren and to attempt to encapsulate his latest work, compassion and mindfulness is in so many ways the direction, it is the journey, it is the result, it is the manifestation, it is the fruition of much of what we're trying to achieve in Recovery. Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACES, trauma, and addiction cause emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual dysregulation that are very often well outside our window of tolerance. When this occurs, we resort to counterproductive thoughts and behaviors, that turn into patterns, that cause a negative feedback loop of deepening counterproductive behaviors. Addiction then, is on a spectrum and recovery too, is on a spectrum. Because addiction is progressive, so too must be our recovery. We must do the work, by identifying the wounds and applying the medicine so we can heal lest we experience unmanageable restlessness irritability and discontentedness or said another way dysregulation that can threaten emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual wellness and if left to continue to spiral downward can result in the ultimate consequence. The work and the medicine, in this case is self-compassion combined with mindfulness. Accept ourselves, connect with ourselves, be there for ourselves now and all times before this moment. When triggers come up, that threaten to be unmanageable the work is deploying tools and strategies to be there for ourselves with compassion and mindfulness. We can pause and choose to conjure self-compassion and mindfulness. Doing this work changes how we experience and respond to all situations in life in an increasingly manageable way that spirals up and raises our baseline and increasingly enables and strengthens our connection to ourselves, our spirituality and ultimately our connection to others which in a very visceral way is recovery personified.

There are books and podcasts about love addiction, and people talk on social media about it--but there aren't many movies that address the topic... That's why Charlene deGuzman's film, Unlovable, is so unique: She not only tells her story, but she calls love addiction what it is. In this episode Jodi talks with Charlene about her personal experience with love addiction and recovery, as well as what she's learned about herself and how recovery has changed her life. Music by JD Pendley  

In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, Michael talks with Carmen Dominguez, a multidisciplinary psychotherapist and consultant. Carmen has been a psychotherapist and consultant for the past 30 years. She draws on her innate intuitive abilities as well as her traditional training to bring guidance and transformation to her clients. She is able to integrate Toltec wisdom and ancient healing principles to understand how the mind gets programmed into performing self-defeating thinking patterns and behaviors, and guides clients on the path of self-mastery. She also works collaboratively at times with talented colleagues to enhance her client's mental wellbeing. She understands that when the mind, body, and spirit are in harmony and alignment, her clients can reach their life goals. She has specialized in working with individuals, families, and couples who have experienced trauma, addictions, and an array of other mental health issues. She perceives a person's healing as a creative process that is best achieved when drawn from many modalities to support optimal wellness. Carmen has been an adjunct professor at Lesley university since 1999. She developed and continues to teach Treating the Addictions. She also regularly teaches Clinical Skills, Culture & Identity, and Children and Adolescent Psychopathology. Carmen completed an intensive family therapy training at the former Cambridge Family Institute.

Carmen was a supervisor of a SAMSA research project for the prevention of adolescent substance abuse. She has presented adolescent harm reduction research at Harvard University. Throughout her years in practice, she has developed and facilitated substance abuse programs throughout the Boston area and Niagara Falls, Ontario. Carmen has studied with astrology scholars and authors, Heather Ensworth, Ph.D. and Joseph Crane, M.A., and she offers natal chart readings when appropriate and indicated for greater personal insight. Carmen is also trained in compassion meditation for couples. She is a yoga teacher, reiki master, and facilitator of Dr. Sue Morter's The Energy Codes.  She has facilitated Psychotherapeutic Reiki, Beyond 12 Step Recovery groups, and shamanic healing over the past several years. She combines ancient healing practices with contemporary research-based therapeutic techniques.

Love addiction gets messy. It's full of intensity, shame, and regression that leads us to behave regretfully--or as Jodi says, 'like a tornado of sticks and poo'. In this episode, Jodi celebrates six years in recovery by revisiting Pia Mellody's symptoms of love addiction; and by providing examples of how these symptoms looked for her during nearly three decades of addicted relationships. Music by JD Pendley    

In the season finale, we are introduced to Rachel's husband, Grayson, as he navigates how to support his wife in her recovery work. Rachel learns that there is much more to codependency than she initially thought, and clinician Breanna Mylius explains how trauma impacts our brain.

Let's be real. The words “Love Addiction” can trigger a massive eye roll. Jodi White gets it and she's here to show us that it's real and a lot more common than we think. Jodi draws on the groundbreaking work of Pia Mellody and builds on it in a way that is comforting, clarifying and hopeful. Jodi is open about the ways SHE's struggled in this area and we talk about what it's like to be love anorexic (yes, that's a thing). We dig into Mother Hunger and some of the other behaviors that prime us for love addiction. Wondering if this is for you? The three primary symptoms of love addiction are: assigning too much time and value to another person, neglecting ourselves while in relationships, and expecting unconditional positive regarding from partners. This is one of those you may need to listen to a few times. There's a lot in it and it's packed with goodness from Jodi.

Episode #41: In this episode we'll explore the complicated and often misunderstood topic of Codependency vs. Interdependency. In codependent relationships, one person does much of the giving and at the same time tries to get their own needs met by controlling the other person. While some people will recreate these same codependent patterns in many of their relationships, others may find that they have just one difficult relationship, in which establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries is challenging. This situation often arises when we have a loved one with mental health problems, substance abuse problems, or their own unskillful ways of relating that pulls us into an anxious and imbalanced pattern of relating. Joining us for this conversation are Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA) member Jill and psychotherapist and recovery specialist Kat Zwick, LMFT. This conversation is not just for those who view themselves as having codependent tendencies, but for anyone who struggles with knowing what is and is not in their control. Most of us will likely encounter this challenge at some point, with some person—a child, an aging parent, a troubled friend or an intimate partner! If you are a parent, caregiver, or spouse to this person …. the odds are greater that you will wrestle with where to draw appropriate lines about who Is responsible for what. Join us as we talk about how to find greater personal well-being, even in those more challenging relationships.

There's lots of talk about adulting and being a 'mature adult', but what does all of that even mean? Are we adults because we have responsibilites, or we're parents, or (we think) we behave maturely? In this episode, Jodi invites Daniel Gowan back to discuss Pia Mellody's concept of the Functional Adult. They also cover Pia's five core symptoms of codependence (aka the five 'buckets'), reparenting, and how to live in action vs reaction. Music by JD Pendley

Hello, this is a special Valentine's episode on relationships. I didn't plan on getting into relationships and codependence for another few weeks, and today it just felt right. In this episode, I mention Pia Mellody's book - Facing Codependence. It is an intense read and can be quite triggering and really breaks down a lot of important concepts in understanding and beginning to face childhood trauma that stems into current day relationships. Here is also a very dated YouTube video of Pia giving a talk on the topic. I watched this back in 2018 when I was first delving into the conversation and couldn't wait for my book to arrive. If you enjoyed this content and are interested in how to bring this into your life and manifest a life you love from the inside out, or simply a perspective of how to integrate your feminine and masculine energy into daily life register for our free training, Journey to Your Golden Path, healingthefeminine.com/goldenpath.

I am so excited to publish this episode about our 5 birthrights and a return to Pia Mellody's Model. This episode is critical to understanding the perspective we bring to the table at Community Routes. This whole episode is full of personal breakthroughs for Samuel and Sarah as we tackle some significant topics. What rights are we owed as humans? Where are we wounded? As Julie will cover, "to look at these core issues is not to blame, but to get our story straight."   PS.

-How and why do codependents have difficulty setting boundaries--especially physical? -What are the consequences of poor physical boundaries? -When an we trust intuition in setting boundaries? In this week's episode, Marissa discusses the ever-elusive concept of B O U N D A R I E S, specifically physical ones. You'll hear about where we learn boundaries, the different types (since there are SO many), and what makes it so hard for codependents to set healthy boundaries for themselves and their bodies. Marissa recalls a butt massage she received thanks to her poor physical boundaries in hopes that you won't have to endure the same awkward and inappropriate experience. It's a must-listen!

If not, here's my pitch: go to www.codependummy.com/challenge to join and set the ball in motion for a healthier, more conscious, and self-validating you in a month from now! More deets on this week's episode: PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES: invisible and symbolic force fields that have three purposes: first, to keep people from coming into your space and abusing you; second, to keep you from going into the space of others and abusing them; and third, to give you a way to embody your sense of self, of “who you are “ - Pia Mellody in Facing Codependency.  There are many types of boundaries: Physical Sexual Emotional Time Intellectual Spiritual Material    Physical boundaries are:  -culturally specific -gender specific -often modeled to us by our parents and other authority figures in our lives.  “Codependents demonstrate the boundary systems that their parents had” - Pia Mellody  Why BOUNDARIES ARE IMPORTANT: You don't get walked (or trampled on) You're able to thus be present You're able to thus focus on the task at hand You're thus more efficient, effective, and energized You don't have to deal with the effort it takes to move someone out of your boundary then repair or replace the damaged areas. According to Pia Melody, intact boundaries enable you to have true intimacy in your life when you choose while also being protected from being abused physically, emotionally, spiritually, time-wise, etc.  Where my poor physical boundary led me to with chiropractors: Mr. Chatty versus Mr. Creepy. I couldn't tell Mr. Chatty that he talked too much.  I couldn't tell Mr. Creepy that his behavior was inappropriate and causing me discomfort. It ultimately ended in my butt massage, making another appointment, calling my twin sister to tell her what happened, then FINALLY stopping my visits to him. This is what happens when we fail to honor our boundaries: butt massages from creepy chiropractors. I can point the finger at him all day but I also want to look at my part, my contribution, where I was responsible: I should have given myself permission to first sign up creepiness or mentioned it to my sister rather than wait several appointments and a butt massage later.  Questions for homework: Who, if anyone in your life, is violating your physical boundaries? In what ways are you trying to avoid, hint at, or passively assert them? What would you prefer their physical contact with you looked like? How can you trust that this gut-reaction for a physical boundary is okay to set? How can you go about setting it this week?
