Do you often feel exhausted, resentful, or underappreciated in your relationships? In this episode, Gabe Howard and licensed psychotherapist Terri Cole explore the complexities of codependency, including its less-talked-about form: “high functioning codependency.” Terri shares practical tools like the “resentment inventory” to identify unhealthy relational patterns and explains how overgiving can be an unconscious attempt to control chaos. You'll also learn how societal pressures, especially on women, play a role in this dynamic and how setting boundaries can lead to healthier, more fulfilling connections. Whether you're managing relationships with friends, family, or colleagues, this episode will help you understand the line between healthy care and codependent behaviors. If you're tired of saying yes when you want to say no or struggling to let others help you, this is a must-listen conversation. “I coined the phrase high functioning codependency because my clients were these highly capable women, in particular, who did not identify with sort of the old school, Melody Beattie, “Codependent No More,” it's enabling an addict. That's all it is, basically. They're like dependent? I'm not dependent on squat. Everyone's dependent on me. I'm making all the money. I'm making all the decisions. I'm kind of the boss around here, so I can't be codependent, which is not true.” ~Terri Cole To learn more -- or read the transcript -- visit the official episode page.

Terri also explains why so many of us fall into this “peace at any cost” mentality and the toll it takes on us. She offers powerful tools to help us break free from that compulsion and get clear on what we’re really responsible for, and how to show up authentically in our relationships.

Do you ever feel like you're doing so much for everyone in your life—managing relationships, fixing problems, carrying the emotional load—only to end up completely burned out? Today, I sit down with the incredible Terri Cole, psychotherapist and author of Boundary Boss, to uncover why so many of us fall into this cycle and, most importantly, how to break free. Terri dives deep into what high-functioning codependency really looks like, and trust me, it's not the old-school definition you might have in mind.

You'll walk away with actionable steps to start shifting your habits, nurture healthier relationships, and finally put yourself back on your priority list. Tune in for this and much more!

Are you finding it harder and harder these days to stick to your boundaries? Whether it's a lack of physical space at your house (hello, homeschooling)… or a lack of breathing room and space in your calendar, causing you to overwork, strive, and feel flustered with it all. Or maybe it's a Boundary Destroyer in your life, which is a whole other ball of wax. My all-star special guest today is psychotherapist Terri Cole and she's simplifying how to stick to your boundaries. In her book, Boundary Boss: The Essential Guide to Talk True, Be Seen, and (Finally) Live Free is a must-read for me and so many girlfriends of mine as we are looking to break free from the nonsense. And more importantly, live a more authentic, fulfilled life by mastering how we create and maintain healthy boundaries. Here's how. My all-star special guest today is Terri Cole and she's simplifying how to stick to your boundaries. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: Through her research, what she found are some common myths that women believe when setting boundaries What the psychological aspect is behind why we DON'T set boundaries for ourselves? What's happening, really? How to understand what your internal ‘Boundary Blueprint' is and how to communicate our desired (more positive) boundaries are to other people In a work setting, what to do if you're afraid you'll be seen as a “bitch” or if you fear being fired by your client after you state your boundaries And ultimately, at home… what you must do when it's a family member (a parent, spouse or child) who you cannot remove from your life entirely and you're having to constantly state and restate your boundaries all the time? Terri is a brilliant bright light in this field of study and she's going to show us a better way of sticking to our boundaries. In our conversation today, you'll gain a glimmer into her work, teaching each of us how to stop abandoning ourselves for the sake of others without guilt or drama. But rather, she shows us a way that healthy boundaries can help us gain better communication and better relationships… more satisfaction, abundance, and success. All of it is a result of doing the work, gaining clarity on our subconscious beliefs, and sticking to our boundaries. Q: Are you ready to learn how to stick to your boundaries better? If yes, this one is for you. It's time to #DoTheThing! ---- Show notes available with all links mentioned here:https://www.thesimplifiers.com/posts/369-how-to-stick-to-your-boundaries---with-terri-cole-all-star

We dive deeper into the dynamics of high-functioning codependency, a topic that resonates with many individuals on their journey toward better mental health and empowered relationships. Terry's latest book, *Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High-Functioning Codependency*, serves as the backdrop for our discussion, providing a roadmap to understanding and overcoming the patterns that often hold us back. We reflect on the common struggle of over-giving in relationships—where we instinctively prioritize helping others often at the expense of our own needs. Terry poignantly articulates the tendency of high-functioning codependents (HFCs) to project positivity onto others, leading to frustration when the expected support isn't reciprocated. Together, we explore how this can create unbalanced dynamics, ultimately making HFCs feel as though they are not deserving of the care they so willingly provide to others. We examine significant societal pressures that have shaped these behaviors, particularly for women navigating the complexities of independence while managing emotional labor within their homes and relationships. Understanding the roots of these behaviors is crucial. As we discuss familial dynamics and societal expectations, we uncover the notion that HFCs might emerge not just from trauma, but also from a long history of conditioning—especially for those raised within patriarchal frameworks that undervalue emotional expression. Through shared anecdotes and personal reflections, Terry emphasizes the importance of recognizing our own boundaries and the necessity of allowing others the space to navigate their own challenges. #codependency #highfunctioningcodependency #HFC #mentalhealth #relationships #selfhelp #therapy #personalgrowth #mindfulness #anxietycoachespodcast #acp #GinaRyan Learn more about your ad choices.

Terry begins by exploring the concept of high functioning codependency, a pattern characterized by overgiving, people-pleasing, and emotional exhaustion, often mistaken for selflessness. She emphasizes how these behaviors can manifest in our lives and compromise our authentic selves, ultimately impacting our mental and emotional well-being. Through her extensive experience as a psychotherapist, Terry discusses the motivations behind these patterns, pointing out that many individuals, especially women, carry a heavy burden of responsibility for the happiness and success of those around them. She reflects on the irony that the more capable someone is, the harder it is to recognize their codependent behaviors. Terry challenges the traditional view that codependency is solely tied to enabling alcoholics, expanding the definition to encompass a broader spectrum of behaviors that lead to emotional distress. Terry shares her personal journey, detailing her own struggles with codependency. She recounts a pivotal moment that brought clarity to her understanding of these patterns, sparked by her relationship with her sister, who was in an abusive situation. This experience, combined with professional insights, helped her recognize the distinction between caring for someone and taking on responsibility for their life outcomes. She emphasizes that genuine love allows others to learn and grow from their choices, rather than rescuing them or solving their problems. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever felt drained from constantly over-giving or managing everyone else's needs, this episode with psychotherapist and Too Much author Terri Cole is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. In Part 2, Terri uncovers how high-functioning codependency keeps us stuck in cycles of over-responsibility and how this impacts our closest relationships—and even our health. Terri reveals her strategies like “resentment inventory,” redefining your “VIP section,” and tools for self-reflection. She walks us through the steps to take back our power, communicate boundaries, and release the pressure to “fix” everyone around us. PLUS, she dives into the importance of letting go of guilt and facing any pushback with strength and compassion. If you're ready to build healthier, balanced relationships and reclaim your energy, Terri's techniques will guide you there. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: The Resentment Inventory. Identify where you feel resentment in your life. This inventory helps pinpoint situations where you're over-giving or sacrificing your own needs, laying the foundation for boundary-setting. Redefine Your “VIP Section.” Not everyone deserves a spot in your life's “VIP section.” Prioritize relationships that nourish you, set boundaries to protect your emotional energy and foster balanced connections. “Good Girl Syndrome”. Many are conditioned to please others at their own expense. Learn the ways to recognize and shift this mindset, encouraging self-respect and authenticity over people-pleasing. Teaching Kids Healthy Boundaries. For parents, raising kids who understand that it's okay to say no and set limits. Modeling boundaries teaches children to prioritize their well-being and empowers them to avoid the same “good girl” or “good boy” patterns. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Nanit: https://www.nanit.com/ use promo code: DREAM20 for 20% off your first order Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Terri Cole's Resources Instagram https://www.instagram.com/terricole/?hl=en Website https://www.terricole.com/ HFC Toolkit https://www.terricole.com/hfc/ Book https://hfcbook.com/ Terri Cole on Heal Squad: https://youtu.be/xZbBICLPVAo?feature=shared https://youtu.be/hD7ktpOScG8?feature=shared ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

In this podcast, I interview psychotherapist Terri Cole about high functioning codependency (HFC), a term Terri coined to describe high-achieving individuals who take on excessive responsibility for others, often at their own expense. Terri explains the impact of HFC, such as stress and strained relationships, and highlights the importance of setting boundaries and allowing others to handle their own issues. Terri offers practical advice for breaking the cycle, including mindfulness techniques and self-regulation strategies. We discuss the benefits of overcoming HFC, like improved energy and relationships. Terri also shares relatable examples and encourages small, manageable steps to start change. The episode concludes with resources, including Terri's book and a starter kit for those looking to break free from HFC.

Happy Tuesday, Heal Squad! We're thrilled to bring back Terri Cole, psychotherapist and author of Too Much, as she dives into the journey of breaking free from high-functioning codependency. Terri walks us through her concept of high-functioning codependency and the hidden costs of over-giving and over-functioning - especially for highly capable, self-sufficient individuals who find themselves constantly managing the needs of others. Terri reveals practical steps to reclaim your energy, set boundaries, and resist the urge to "fix" everyone else's problems. She explores the importance of self-respect, learning to tolerate discomfort, and building autonomy. If you've ever felt exhausted from trying to manage others' lives, this episode is your wake-up call to prioritize your own inner peace. Get ready to rediscover your boundaries and tune in to find the freedom that comes with letting go! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: The Hidden Cost of High-Functioning Codependency. A form of over-giving and over-functioning that many high achievers don't recognize in themselves. While it may look like strength, it often leads to burnout, resentment, and compromised inner peace. Embrace Boundaries as Self-Respect. Boundaries aren't just about managing others—they're crucial for self-respect. Building boundaries protects our energy, preserves our well-being, and helps us step back from trying to "save" everyone else. Pause the Need to “Fix” Everything. Resist the urge to auto-give advice or fix others' problems. Instead, asking others what they think they should do promotes autonomy and healthier dynamics, allowing them to find their own solutions. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Nanit: https://www.nanit.com/ use promo code: DREAM20 for 20% off your first order Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Terri Cole's Resources Instagram https://www.instagram.com/terricole/?hl=en Website https://www.terricole.com/ HFC Toolkit https://www.terricole.com/hfc/ Book https://hfcbook.com/ Terri Cole on Heal Squad: https://youtu.be/xZbBICLPVAo?feature=shared https://youtu.be/hD7ktpOScG8?feature=shared ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
