In this episode, Matt speaks with therapist and author, Tom Bruett, about how to avoid losing yourself in your relationships. By balancing connection and autonomy in our relationships, we can foster more secure relationships that allow us to maintain our sense of self while allowing our partner to do the same.

The concepts and questions we explore in this episode are:

  • What is codependency and enmeshment?
  • What are the consequences of being codependent or enmeshed in relationships?
  • What causes codependency and enmeshment?
  • How can we heal from codependency and enmeshment?
  • What is interdependency and differentiation?
  • How does interdependence and differentiation support secure relationships?
  • How does attachment style play a role in this topic?
