The Invisible Struggle of High-Functioning Codependency with Terri Cole

Renowned relationship expert and licensed psychotherapist Terri Cole joins us to unravel the complexities of high-functioning codependency, a concept she brilliantly addresses in her latest book, "Too Much." Terri delves into the mindset of those who, despite their apparent competence and success, struggle with the overwhelming urge to prioritize others' needs over their own well-being. Through engaging discussions, she shares her transformative approach of asking expansive questions, encouraging us to find authenticity and inner peace without resorting to unsolicited advice.

Listeners will find themselves captivated by personal stories, including a heartfelt account of dealing with a loved one's abusive relationship, illustrating the difficulty of recognizing codependent patterns hidden by high functionality. This episode sheds light on the often invisible struggle between wanting to help and understanding that real change must be self-initiated. By setting boundaries and stepping back, we empower those we care about to take control of their lives, revealing a path to genuine personal growth for everyone involved.

Terri challenges us to embrace interdependence by moving away from the automatic urge to fix others, fostering deeper connections through meaningful dialogue. We explore how respecting boundaries and avoiding micromanagement can lead to more intimate and trusting relationships, celebrating the journey toward breaking the high-functioning codependency cycle. Join us as we reflect on personal growth and the importance of self-awareness, guided by Terri Cole's insightful wisdom, which promises to empower listeners on their quest for healthier connections.
