Are you stuck in toxic relationship patterns? Do you seem to attract narcissists or other disordered people? Are you ready to learn how to love yourself and others?
Based on the acclaimed podcast, a new way to understand codependency:
"I’ve read books on codependency, watched videos on codependency, been to Coda and therapy and this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone articulate their experience in a way that I can relate to."
"I have been on my journey to healing from codependency for the past five years. I have read many books and followed many podcasts on this subject. This has been the most helpful to me. It has given me words that pinpoint exactly how I feel and helped me go deeper in the causes of my codependent behaviors."
"This podcast has been an excellent resource for me. It has helped me understand more fully not only what codependency is, but how it relates to trauma (specifically CPTSD) and how it coincides with trauma-bonding, etc."
