Codependency, Savior Complex, and Fixing Your Partner: How to Have a Safe Relationship Connection

Do you ever feel like you're being fixed by your partner? Or do you ever feel the urge to fix your partner's pain or struggles? We address the challenges and nuances of avoiding codependency and 'fix-it' dynamics in relationships, particularly between spouses and friends.  We talk about the balance between being supportive and overstepping into a counseling role within our personal connections. Through our personal experiences, we touch on the importance of self-awareness, growth, and the recognition that relationships naturally ebb and flow through phases of codependency. We also explore the power of surrender, ownership, and the gift of love that comes with less dependency on others' affection. Through this episode we hope that you will learn how to question your intentions and be comfortable with rejection, and aim to cultivate healthier dynamics in your relationships and avoid the helper or fixer roles.
