Today is a super special episode of The Terri Cole Show because my friend and fellow relationship expert, Mark Groves, is joining me and we’re breaking down one of our favorite topics: codependency.

We share a fascination with decoding codependency because as relationship experts, we know that it is one of the biggest blocks to seeking, curating, and maintaining vibrant, durable love and healthy relationships.

So how do you know if you’re codependent?

We both get the, “how do I know if I am codependent” questions A LOT from our respective crews, so that’s why we’ve teamed up to talk symptoms and red flags that might point to codependency in your behavior patterns.

Whether it’s in your romantic relationship, in your family, in your friendships or at work, codependent behaviors can limit your potential for authentic connection, block intimacy, make it difficult to set healthy boundaries, and at the end of the day leave you feeling exhausted and alone.

We’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way. You can make different choices that support YOU, your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing and still be a deeply caring, loving person, partner, and friend.

That’s why we’re giving you a rundown of real-life codependent scenarios to help you start to recognize what’s healthy and what’s not plus what you can do about it so you can learn how to CRUSH codependency.
