Summary
Themes: Codependency, Empathy, People-Pleasing, Self-Abandonment, Over-Functioning
Summary:
In all of the years I have been doing this work and the thousands and thousands of messages I receive, codependency is by far one of the biggest issues I see. Over-functioning, over-delivering, people pleasing and ignoring your own needs? I’ve definitely been there! That’s why this week, I’m re-releasing one of my most popular episodes EVER to break down what exactly codependency is and how to break free from this unhealthy behavioural pattern.
In this episode I’m joined by my dear friend and all around bad-ass Terri Cole who is a New York based licensed psychotherapist, relationship and empowerment expert, best-selling author and co-creator of the Crushing Codependency course. I cannot speak highly enough of Terri's expertise in this space and am so excited to dive deeper into this incredibly important topic. If you have ever wondered whether you are empathic or perhaps have some traits of codependency, you cannot miss this show!
Discover:
- The signs and symptoms of codependency
- Why this behavioural pattern manifests
- The consequences of codependency throughout childhood, single life and long term relationships

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Markov's podcast. |
| 0:11.8 | So today's guest needs no introduction. |
| 0:16.3 | But allow me to reintroduce Terrick O'oleh, who is a psychotherapist, an absolute true |
| 0:23.1 | teller, like words cut right to the soul and liberate us. |
| 0:27.6 | I honestly couldn't be more excited to be able to share her words with you today. |
| 0:32.3 | This is reboot. |
| 0:33.4 | This is one of the most popular episodes that has ever aired on my podcast and for very |
| 0:39.1 | good reason. |
| 0:40.5 | It is called the disease to please. |
| 0:42.6 | It's on the subject of codependency. |
| 0:45.5 | And this subject itself, we often don't even know that we're codependent. |
| 0:50.0 | And as Terri talks about, we are often high functioning codependents. |
| 0:54.8 | We have no clue that we're giving away our power, energy, and all these different things. |
| 0:59.6 | Because it's so normalized. |
| 1:01.2 | And that really for me has been one of the most freeing things about learning about codependency |
| 1:05.6 | is recognizing these places where I'm stuck, where I give myself away, where I self-abandoned, |
| 1:11.0 | where I people please, where I'm afraid to get negative feedback, but at the cost of |
| 1:16.1 | turning down my voice, my truth, whatever that might be. |
| 1:18.7 | And I'm sure that when you look at your own life, you might see where you silence yourself |
| 1:23.6 | or where you haven't pursued your passions or your dreams or you're afraid to rock the |
| 1:27.0 | boat or you really live in this state of wanting to take care of and please other people. |
