Ross Rosenberg takes you on a journey into the complex world of codependency in this episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast. He introduces the concept of 'Threshold Reactors', a type of codependent personality known for their intense emotional responses and tendency to overreact to perceived threats. These individuals often have a hair-trigger temper, leading to explosive outbursts and hurtful behaviour when their boundaries are crossed.
