Let’s peel back the layers of the complex world of codependency, shining light on the misunderstood aspects of this frequently vilified trait. I'll guide you through the dynamics of the codependency triangle, illuminating how it can be a powerful tool for understanding relationships and spotting codependent patterns within ourselves and others. We'll grapple with the challenges of asking for what we need, setting boundaries, and managing our emotions when conflict arises.  As we move deeper into the conversation, I'll share my personal journey of navigating role shifts during a divorce and how it led to a path of self-discovery outside of pre-assigned roles. We'll dig into the roots of codependency, often stemming from attachment wounds, and take a revealing attachment styles quiz to identify our patterns. We'll also shift our focus from striving for perfection to embracing our worthiness. Tune in and learn how to pause, breathe, and regulate your nervous system when faced with triggers, and discover practical ways to reconnect with your authentic self.
