You didn't cause these problems. This is what happens when you're in a relationship with an a-hole like me for years and years and years and years.
Ever wondered why codependency doesn't quite capture the whole picture in addicted relationships? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Till The Wheels Fall Off', Matt and Paige Robinson take a deep dive into the intricate dynamics that go beyond codependency. While books like 'Codependency No More' and programs like CODA or Alanon offer valuable insights, they argue that there's more to the story.
The hosts explore how abusive behaviors, gaslighting, and manipulation can lead partners to lose their sense of self, making them feel 'lost' in the relationship. They emphasize that simply focusing on codependent behaviors won't address the trauma from years of abuse. Instead, they advocate for a holistic approach that acknowledges these abusive dynamics and promotes personal growth and recovery for both partners.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of an addicted relationship, offering hope and practical strategies for healing and thriving beyond the trauma.
