Relationships can
trigger unhealed wounds of the past, and if we are not careful and
self-aware, we may love others in an unhealthy way.
In this episode,
you will learn from Lisa A. Romano, who will help explain why some
of us love to be loved in return and why that is not the healthiest
way to operate within relationships.

Codependency in
relationships destroys love. When you are codependent, you seek
approval and love others, hoping to be loved in return.
On the surface, this sounds appropriate. However, when we dig in
deeper, we learn that relationship dynamics that are rooted in
insecure attachment and abandonment issues are anything but
easy.
Signs you're codependent include seeking approval, enabling
unhealthy behaviors, denying your own needs, putting the needs of
others before your own, having poor boundaries, having difficulty
with mature communication, lying for a partner, feeling
over-responsible for other people's emotions, rescuing or fixing
other people's lives, and then feeling angry when others don't do
as you would expect them to.
