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.
