Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes takes listeners on a journey through the complex dynamics of codependency and the drama trauma triangle. This episode of the Counselor Toolbox Podcast unpacks the intriguing cycle of rescuing, persecuting, and feeling victimised, which often traps individuals in unhealthy relationships. Dr. Snipes, with her insightful explanations, breaks down how childhood experiences can lead to these patterns, shedding light on why some people feel compelled to rescue others.
She discusses the illusion of control in codependent relationships, where one's actions are often dictated by the behaviours of a dysfunctional partner. The conversation also touches on how these learned behaviours can perpetuate a cycle of anger and resentment, ultimately leading to feelings of victimisation. Listeners will gain an understanding of how trauma, particularly abandonment trauma, fuels codependency. Dr.
Snipes highlights the importance of recognising these behaviours as responses to past trauma, offering a glimpse into the psychological underpinnings that drive such patterns. Her approach is both compassionate and informative, making complex psychological concepts accessible to all. This episode is not just for counsellors or those in the mental health field; it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand their own or others' codependent behaviours. Whether you're grappling with these issues yourself or supporting someone who is, Dr.
Snipes provides practical insights that can help break free from these cycles. So, if you've ever wondered why you or someone you know keeps getting caught in these patterns, this episode might offer some answers. Dive into the world of codependency with Dr. Snipes and discover strategies to begin dismantling these unhealthy dynamics.
