If you're needing others to be okay for you to be okay, that's not healthy. The goal is to be healthy on your own. Not that I don't need people, but my okayness can't be dependent upon someone else being okay.

In this episode of 'Healing Connections', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the intricate dance of codependency and differentiation within relationships. They tackle the tricky balance between being emotionally close to loved ones—like spouses and children—and preserving your own identity. Wes and Austin share personal stories and reflections, highlighting the common traps of codependency and enmeshment.
They stress the importance of emotional objectivity and compassion, making a strong case for why thriving relationships depend on mutual support and individual differences. This episode offers a fresh perspective on how embracing independence can actually strengthen your bonds with others.
