Bring On the B Word (Airdate 1/31/2022)

Bring On the B Word (Airdate 1/31/2022)Are you a person who cheerfully sacrifices your own happiness, comfort, well-being, and peace for others? A person who focuses more on pleasing a partner or meeting their needs than taking care of your own? You might be codependent - and welcome to the club. We sure know how that is. Bob kicks off this episode by wondering how differently life might have turned out had he been just a little bit healthier emotionally. Caring deeply about others is a beautiful thing - until that caring becomes distorted and controlling and leaves you seething with resentment and anxiety. It's a lifelong habit that you learned really early. But does that mean you're stuck being a people-pleasing doormat? Nope. There's hope - and it all starts with the biggest B word of all. https://youtu.be/62I5Ayra7GMThe Bob & Sheri Oddcast: Everything We Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, and Definitely Shouldn’t Do on the Show!
