Summary
In this episode, John and Vanessa do a deep dive on codependency. They define it, give examples on what it looks like in relationships, talk about how they struggle with codependency in their own and previous relationships, and end with a homework assignment for their listeners.
Roughly ten minutes of self help in a shot glass. If you're looking for a wine glass, you've come to the wrong place. Marriage family therapist and best-selling author, John Kim, shares his life and love revelations as well as insights from his sessions. He pulls the curtain back and documents his journey as a therapist but more importantly, as a human being.
