About this episode

Is codependency secretly sabotaging your life and relationships? Are you losing yourself while desperately trying to fix someone else? Mayim and Jonathan explore how to spot the telltale signs of codependent behavior and distinguish it from a healthy relationship, romantic or otherwise. Using the book, “Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself” by Melody Bettle as their guide, Mayim and Jonathan break down how trauma and family dynamics can create codependency and how to break those codependent patterns. Learn why pressuring others to change never works, the physiological toll of codependency, and how to set powerful boundaries to protect yourself. They share tips on how to overcome codependency, such as how to increase emotional resilience, build your self-esteem, recognize your needs, and practice healthy detachment—without losing yourself. Plus, see how Jonathan did on Mayim's codependency quiz!
