Healthy Relationships vs Codependent Relationships (ft. Healthy Boundaries)

Kristin M Snowden, MA, LMFT, CDWF is a seasoned therapist and certified life coach who specializes in treating sex and love addiction recovery, betrayal trauma healing, and other acute, crisis relationship issues. She explains the elements that create a healthy, interdependent relationship versus an unhealthy, codependent relationship. Kristin also explores Healthy Boundaries and provides a quiz at the end to help viewers explore if they've lost themselves in their relationships with others. She explores the important topics of What makes a healthy relationship? How will I know if I am already Codependent with other people? These queries are discussed in this lecture. You will learn the pros and cons of being in conjunction with other people. Kristin provides examples of healthy ways to engage with others versus unhealthy coping skills. Sometimes, it is being supportive and open-minded that makes a healthy relationship, along with it, both partners should validate the other's feelings. It provides tools to help one accept constructive feedback by your partner because it is part of the intimate connection.

We will realize how we unconsciously become dependent on the validation of others which can be an example of a codependence. Even worse, when we operate out of fear and desperation to keep the relationship "at all costs" we can set ourselves up to ignore the red flags, boundaries, and the willingness to assert our own needs.
(**This was filmed several years ago, Kristin no longer uses the term "codependent" and instead discusses relationship systems and dyads through the lense of attachment theory and trauma models)
