True or False: Can I Be Codependent If I'm Highly Independent?

AwakenHer with Corissa Stepp

Ever found yourself caught in an independent streak so strong it bordered on isolation or so fixated on others' needs you forgot your own? On the surface, hyperindependence and codependency might appear poles apart, but they can be rooted in the same early experiences of trauma or neglect. Inspired by a striking conversation with a hyper-independent friend, I spin a personal tale of self-discovery, charting my journey through these interwoven behavioral patterns and their effect on our relationships and self-concept.
I promise you a fascinating foray into the traits of highly independent people, their capacity to weather uncertainty, and their emphasis on a blend of self-reliance and collaboration. We don't shy away from the tough reality of codependency - the struggle to ask for help, the prioritization of others over self, and the control issues that underpin it all. The path to breaking free from codependency isn't easy, but it's worthwhile. We'll explore the importance of acknowledging and healing our inner wounds and beliefs and how embracing vulnerability can pave the way for a more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone striving for healthier relationships and a deeper understanding of themselves.
