Boundaries, Co-Dependency and Divorce

When it comes to relationships, a lot of us jump to the idea of compatibility. But do we understand the nuance of that term? 

It doesn’t have to mean a “matching set'' dynamic, or finding the perfect piece to your puzzle. Your partner doesn’t have to save you, fix you, or complete you. In fact, when a relationship turns towards reliance - complete reliance - you’re not experiencing compatibility, but codependency. It’s not about you, your partner, your family, or happiness- it’s about saving the marriage you believe you need, even if you don’t. 

In this episode of The Divorce Doctor Podcast, Terri Cole and I dive into codependency and boundaries through both marriage and divorce. Terri is both a licensed psychotherapist and has been a global relationship and empowerment expert for over two decades, working with clients from stay-at-home moms to celebrities and CEOs. Not only that, but Terri has a gift for making psychological concepts accessible to everyone, inspiring thousands through her blog, social media platform, signature courses, and her popular The Terri Cole Show podcast.
