In Episode 3, I tackle communication!! As codependents, we tend to be poor communicators. We may be busy worrying how people will feel about what we say or how they may judge us for what we say (mix of codependency and perfectionism). We may even spend inordinate amount of time thinking about how to say something instead of just being honest. This episode talks about 4 big communication issues with codependency and how we can talk them!
