22. Confronting Codependency with Therapist Atim Bassey 💞: fostering self-acceptance and creating healthy boundaries

In this episode, I chat with Atim Bassey, LCSW-C, an amazing therapist and my real life cousin (lucky me!). 

We talk about her journey to becoming a therapist -- from case management to being a functional family therapist and now having her own private practice. How to know if your therapy relationship is working, What inspired her to recommend the book Codependent No More to me, the experience that taught me to be less passive aggressive, how to break a codependent cycle, and how to create healthy boundaries -- especially emotionally.

I hope this sheds light on any codependent patterns you may notice in yourself and gives you a first step to help liberate you from the pain it can cause.

We mention:

• Codependent No More by Melody Beattie
• The Codependency Recovery Plan: A 5-Step Guide to Understand, Accept, and Break Free from the Codependent Cycle by Krystal Mazzola Wood, LMFT
