Happy Tuesday, Heal Squad! We’re thrilled to bring back Terri Cole, psychotherapist and author of Too Much, as she dives into the journey of breaking free from high-functioning codependency. Terri walks us through her concept of high-functioning codependency and the hidden costs of over-giving and over-functioning - especially for highly capable, self-sufficient individuals who find themselves constantly managing the needs of others.

Terri reveals practical steps to reclaim your energy, set boundaries, and resist the urge to "fix" everyone else’s problems. She explores the importance of self-respect, learning to tolerate discomfort, and building autonomy. If you’ve ever felt exhausted from trying to manage others’ lives, this episode is your wake-up call to prioritize your own inner peace.

Get ready to rediscover your boundaries and tune in to find the freedom that comes with letting go!

HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:

• 
  The Hidden Cost of High-Functioning Codependency. A form of over-giving and over-functioning that many high achievers don’t recognize in themselves. While it may look like strength, it often leads to burnout, resentment, and compromised inner peace.


• 
  Embrace Boundaries as Self-Respect. Boundaries aren’t just about managing others—they’re crucial for self-respect. Building boundaries protects our energy, preserves our well-being, and helps us step back from trying to "save" everyone else.


• 
  Pause the Need to “Fix” Everything. Resist the urge to auto-give advice or fix others’ problems. Instead, asking others what they think they should do promotes autonomy and healthier dynamics, allowing them to find their own solutions.
