About this listen

Are you stuck in toxic relationship patterns? Do you seem to attract narcissists or other disordered people? Are you ready to learn how to love yourself and others?

Based on the acclaimed podcast of the same name, follow Brian's transformative journey from codependency and despair to joyful, fulfilling and sustaining relationships. Gain guidance into examining your own life and crafting a personalized pathway to heal from codependency and trauma.

In Part 1 Brian explores:

The family dynamics in childhood that set the stage for codependent habits.

The long term effects of trauma, including its complex and chronic manifestations.

Threat responses (particularly freeze and fawn) and the connection to the behaviors that make up codependency.

The role of shame and fear in deepening codependent habits.

How codependent behaviors foster isolation and perpetuate dysfunctional relationship dynamics.

The toxic interplay between narcissism and codependency, and the trauma bonds that arise in relationships with abusive narcissists.

In Part 2 Brian explains:

What is on the other side of codependency? Is it worth it?

Healing from emotional wounds by connecting with other people, repairing emotional systems and re-writing stories.

Breaking the codependent habits that prevent emotionally intimate relationships.

Acquiring a new approach to romantic relationships.

This book is a beacon of hope for those seeking liberation from codependency's grip, providing both insights and practical guidance for the journey toward authenticity and connection.

Answers I have sought for a lifetime

After a whole teen and young adult life spent reading books, going to church, meditating, journaling, and personal development, some things still just didn’t make sense about me to me or anyone else. Putting a name on what it was and unofficially codifying these behaviors told me I’m not just some broken mistake. I’m the way I am for a reason and I can change what is left. Thank you Brian and Stephanie. This is so huge for me.
