where we normally think of codependency as someone in a relationship with a person who's an addict and has a behavior that's undesirable.

The majority of us actually compromise ourselves in order to keep people close.

And although it could present and look like

Kylie is the one who didn't have her poop in a group,

you know, and being ready to choose the relationship,

I was actively choosing to continue to be in a relationship with someone who wasn't fully choosing me.

But first, these messages.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Rose Podcast.

Today on this solo episode, it is an espresso shot of relational awareness.

This is a conversation that Kylie and I share in our audio book from the book

Liberated Love, How to release cod dependent patterns and create the love you desire.

At the end of every chapter in the book, we have a conversation that's unscripted that's about whatever we cover in the chapter in this chapter we discuss more specifically the pattern of codependency the definition we explore and also how this shows up in our interpersonal relationships.

When you see the dynamic of one person being maybe more the pursuer, or what we might call anxiously

attached, and the other person being more the

distancer the person who's ambivalent or unsure or running from the

commitment as the other one runs towards commitment. This pattern we dive more deeply into. In the conversation

about relationship we tend to villainize the ambivalent one or the distancer and

so we give a little more context to that pattern and how both people can take responsibility

in their relationships to change their life.

So if you love this conversation, please share the episode and also hit that subscribe button because every week twice a

week I dive deeper into the human experience human connection and how to master

human relating and ultimately ourselves.
