Ep. 6 The Two Paths: Understanding Codependency and Self-Abandonment

Codependency isn’t a character flaw — it’s a survival strategy your nervous system learned. In this episode, we discuss the two paths every relationship offers: the path of safety, where we abandon ourselves to keep the peace, and the path of self-expression, where we risk disappointing others to stay true to who we are. We explore where this pattern comes from, why it’s so hard to break, and five practical steps to start choosing yourself again — without losing your relationships in the process.
