Summary
Does it feel like if you don't fix problems or move things forward, no one will?
Do you feel overly responsible, like everything will fall apart if you don't do all the things?
Do you just find yourself saying, "It's just faster/easier/more efficient if I do it myself"?
If you're nodding your head, this episode is for you because I am talking about the five traits of high-functioning codependency (HFC), the cycle of codependency I often see my clients go through, and how to shift from over-doing and over-giving into more balance and less exhaustion.
