This week John is in conversation with a special guest - one who has lived through a codependent relationship, and who has emerged as independent from the other side. It's a rare, highly personal conversation from someone with a unique perspective on this particular compulsion, and which may help to empower those who may not yet realise that their own relationship may be an unhealthy one. KEY TAKEAWAYS  When we become codependent, we lose part of ourselves - our identities. We hand control to a person, and thereby give part of ourselves away. Previous generations have always associated their development in life by their attachments. These days, we are encouraged to be more independent, and gender roles in society help to promote this. Codependency can creep in without realising it. We begin a certain way, and then one day find that we have become unrecognisable to ourselves. BEST MOMENTS 'The root of codependency is the loss of the self' 'It was a very gendered experience' 'It's as though you somehow believe you are rooted with each other' 'It was like I'd created a Frankenstein'  VALUABLE RESOURCES Want to be able to create healthy relationships in your life - why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min The Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy         Signs Of A Toxic Relationship Questionnaire - https://signsofatoxicrelationship.scoreapp.com What Is Self Actualisation - What is Self-Actualisation? | John Kenny (johnkennycoaching.com)  Lisa A Romano  - https://youtu.be/Pv90LrLyMew https://youtu.be/G2DvWdrXnBw Codependent No More by Melody Beattie - Codependent No More (Part 1) - YouTube  ABOUT THE HOST I am John Kenny, The Relationship Guy - Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.
