Unraveling Codependency: Shifting Relationship Dynamics for Healthier Connections

Send us a textWhat if the roles you play in your relationships are not a conscious choice, but rather a subconscious programming dictating your actions? Join me, Katie Kovaleski, as we unravel the complex threads of codependency and relationship dynamics, promising you a journey toward understanding and shifting automatic behaviors for healthier interactions. With insights drawn from my years as a marriage and family therapist, I spotlight how early subconscious programming can put us on autopilot, affecting our responses and perceptions in relationships. Learn how increasing your nervous system's bandwidth can be a game-changer in managing stress and embracing self-awareness, allowing you to break free from negative patterns and enhance your relational health.Explore the often unseen roles of rescuer, victim, and villain that women unconsciously adopt, shaped by societal norms and early conditioning. These roles, while initially serving as coping mechanisms, can lead to burnout and necessitate a re-alignment with one's true essence as personal growth unfolds. We'll also touch upon the dance of masculine and feminine energies within relationships and the importance of finding equilibrium. Tune in for honest discussions about the energetic roles in partnerships and the crucial need for self-awareness and communication.
