Show Notes

It's vital to acknowledge with self-compassion that whatever emotional dependencies we are experiencing, we come by those honestly. When we can become aware of how our innate drive toward wholeness has actually been a part of developing our coping mechanisms, we are free to discover new (and much improved) possibilities. Discussion of Chapter 5 will continue in the next episode.
