In this episode, Mark sits down with psychotherapist and author Terri Cole to dissect the misunderstood concept of codependency—specifically the overlooked phenomenon of high-functioning codependency. With raw honesty and clinical insight, Terri challenges listeners to reconsider their own behaviors, revealing how being overly invested in others’ emotions, choices, and outcomes can mask a covert quest for control rooted in childhood survival strategies. Whether you’re constantly offering unsolicited advice or excusing toxic behavior, this conversation unpacks how self-abandonment and adaptive dysfunctions silently erode our capacity for intimacy. Prepare to be called in—and called out.
