Are you doing too much for others?
In this episode, Terri Cole, a psychotherapist and relationship expert, helps us better understand the challenges of high-functioning codependency and the importance of setting healthy boundaries.
You’ll learn about identifying patterns of over-functioning, managing resentment, and prioritising your own needs without guilt.
Terri shares personal stories, therapeutic insights, and practical tools to help you create more balanced, satisfying relationships.
Listen now and get ready to reclaim your time, energy, and peace of mind.
In this conversation we discuss:
▫️ What drives us to do too much for others.
▫️ The cost of doing everything for everyone.
▫️ Why doing enough is the pathway to internal peace.
▫️ And so much more
You can quote us on that…
“High-Functioning Codependency is being overly invested in the feeling states, the outcomes, the decisions, the financial situations, and the relationships of the people in our life to the detriment of our own internal peace.”
Terri Cole
“If your peace depends on us fixing everyone else’s problems, we will never have peace.”
Terri Cole
“Resentment is your friend even though we don’t like it…because it’s telling you that something needs your attention.”
