Well, hello there and welcome back to the best of series for December here on the Terry Cole show.

I'm so thrilled to revisit these fan favorite episodes with you.

It's so fun to actually remember what we did and reread all of your comments.

It's just great.

So this month, we're counting down the top five most popular episodes of all time. I think we have 680-something

episodes of all time, which is a lot. And today we're on episode number three, most popular

of all time, a topic that resonates deeply with so many of you, codependency in your relationships.

And you can see by my most recent book that I wrote all about codependency,

I am super obsessed with codependency and relationships right along with you. So when this episode

first aired, it quickly became one of the most played and talked about shows, which really shows

how many of us are navigating these complicated dynamics and relationships, right? It's not just you.

It's like being able to put my

finger on the pulse of what's really happening for people by looking at the data of what people

are responding to most in the shows. So in today's episode, I explore the common signs of codependency

and break down what happens when our well-meaning support for loved ones crosses the line

into trying to control

or fix. And if you've ever found yourself a bit too invested in the lives of other people

or struggling to keep your own happiness separate from the happiness of those around you,

this episode might shed some light on why that happens and what you can do about it.

And here's a new insight that I wanted to add today.

Something I've seen in my practice is how codependency often sneaks in as a way of managing

our own emotion.
