Recently I was reading Terri Cole’s new book, Too Much, and I got so excited for you to hear the podcast episode I just did with her!
Terri is a renowned psychotherapist and boundary boss. Terri and I previously created a course together called Crushing Codependency, and as you know, Kylie and I’s book, Liberated Love is about healing codependency.
So codependency is our JAM. And, I’m guessing, if you’re reading this, it’s likely your jam too… as in, you’re interested in learning how to step fully into your voice, your power, and creating relationships that celebrate ALL of you, and your partner, of course.
In the podcast, and Terri’s book, we explore a new paradigm of codependency. Terri calls this paradigm “high-functioning codependency” (HFC).
OKAY… THIS IS WHERE IT GETS REALLLLLLY INTERESTING…(because this may be YOU.)
The ironic truth with high-functioning codependency is that the more capable you are, the more your behaviour doesn’t actually seem codependent.
“As HFCs, our desire to feel at peace often drives us to chronic over-functioning and over-investment with the loved ones in our lives,” says Terri. “Even with those we don’t love… or sometimes with folks we barely know.”
In the podcast, Terri breaks down the characteristics of high-functioning codependency ― so you can get more clarity around what’s going on under the surface of your behaviour and take steps toward better boundaries, self-care, and integrity.
Check out this new podcast episode, and definitely grab a copy of Too Much! You’ll walk away from both with a clear understanding of how you relate to others and the world… and with a newfound inner peace.
The time is NOW to break the cycle of overdoing and over-giving and start living a more authentic and joyful life.
Much love,
Mark
