Ep. 485 End Toxic and Codependent Relati...

Marni Kinrys & Kristen Carney
About this episode

The phrase "toxic relationship" is all abuzz right now. And, it's for good reason. It seems like social media has shined a light on relationships like this and how to end them and recover from them. "Codependency" is also a hot topic because people seem to be getting more in touch with their attachment styles thanks to all the dating help available online. So, this week, we have Sherry Gaba, a holistic psychotherapist and Carla Romo, a relationship coach and author are here to talk about how to avoid these types of relationships as well as how to tell if you're the toxic or codependent one (eek, sorry!) and how to begin to change your behavior so you can form long lasting, healthy relationships.
