In this episode, I unpack codependence, developmental trauma and love addiction with Jodi White, a psychotherapist, sober recovering love addict and host of “Journals of a Love Addict.”
Jodi and talk about:
The 5 core symptoms of codependence
How dysfunctional families set the stage for being over or anti-dependent
What love addiction is and how it’s different from codependency
Developing a Functional Adult Self to care for our “inner woundeds”
How experiential learning bypasses the ‘thinking brain’ to heal trauma
