375. Are You Codependent or Just a Good Person? Here’s How to Tell
About this episode
Dr. Abby Medcalf explores the difference between codependency and genuine compassion, providing insights and tools for self-assessment.
You’re a caring person. You show up. You give. You’d do just about anything for the people you love. So when someone suggests you might be codependent, it stings because, from where you’re standing, you’re just being a good person. But what if both things are true? Today I’m going to show you the difference between true compassion and fear-based helping, the sneakiest place codependency actually hides, four questions to tell which one you’re doing in real time, and five things to do the moment you catch yourself crossing that line. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/why-caring-people-are-often-codependent Download The Compassion Check.
