ERP 260: How To Break Free from Codependency in a Relationship - An Interview With Sherry Gaba
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Sherry Gaba, who has a clinical background with addiction and codependency, and we discuss where people get stuck with codependency. We talk about how problematic codependency can be and the loss of self that accompanies an unequal relationship.
She talks about codependency often involves an inability to control or abstain from compulsive behavior, why codependency affects females and males equally, and how the combination of narcissists and a codependent person can be particularly problematic.
Listen in to learn how trauma plays a role in codependency, why the healing starts with awareness, and how one can start connecting with themself.
(Please listen to the podcast episode or read the transcript to hear explanations, stories, and examples.)
